3/16 tool

I just got my 3/16 tubing and I was thinking about how to use my one handed tool with it, just wonder what the best ways anybody's found?

take a piece of 5/16 tubing and split it length wise and remove about 1/8 of the material from that split, open it up and slide it over the 3/16 tubing and it will work just like 5/16

You can also just build up the tubing gripper with masking tape.

I just split the 5/16 and used it as a shim it worked perfectly.

I split the 5/16 line, cut it the length of the thread and taped it to the bottom jaw, but when I try to push my tees in my line just collapses into the jaws? Should the 5/16 be the entire length of the jaw?

I had the 5/16 for entire length and do not have your 3/16 extending pass the front edge of jaw or line will collapse.
