Have not had a chance to try it yet but you grease it up and insert it
in the end of the tube you want a bead on. Then you turn it with a large
wrench on the hex while slowly screwing in the bolt. The three balls
press the metal outward forming a bead in the end of the tube. A hose will 
not slip off when a hose clamp is tightened down around it.
