I bought a hydraswage years ago and it has paid for itself time and again. with that and a ratchet tubing bender I replaced a few reversing valves with fewer joints and looked better too. I want to at least LOOK like I know what I am doing even if I don't

If so what do you use to do so?

I still use the old hammer swedge. Haven't broken down and got one of those nice expensive swedges yet
I am guilty of the needle nose swedge.

I haven't used a coupling for anything under 1 3/8 copper in years.
Looks like a sad attempt at swedge joint..(think I spelled that right)
Don't know about the schaders, but that pic of the coupling is ugly. What are some people thinking, or should I say not thinking. I think my son would know how to do that right and he's twelve.

Good lord, I haven't seen one that bad in awhile. I remember finding out that goodman put schraders on their coils. I never had time to look when I was roughing ghetto, we were doing 12 coils a day. It was a big "holy......crap...." moment.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN REMOVE THE SHREADER THINGYS?
At least you were able to get them out, usually when I find them in that condition they stuck really hard.
