Cheap Tail/Exhaust Pipe Expanders are Pathetic

Cheap Tail/Exhaust Pipe Expanders are Pathetic.

I went to Harbor Freight and bought a Tail Pipe Expander and got into My Van only to see that it was Cracked???

Went back in and got an exchange and when I got into the Van an got it out of the Package I found it was also Cracked???

Got My money back and went to another cheapie Tool Place and got a similar one made by Pitbull (oddly it has US type NF Threads) for $5 less.
I got 2 expansions out of it and it broke on the 3rd expansion. Now I am not able to finish My job.

My present acceptable options are to go get another Cheap one and finish the job or heat the Pipe up red hot and drive a large Socket into the pipe.
Or get a KD made in the USA one on eBay at around $22 and wait for it to arrive (one place local wants $39 for the same Tool).

Also this is ther first time I have ever needed a Tail Pipe Expander and I have never been around when someone else used one.
