I have a set of push pull tubes with the ends Swagged/narrowed/reduced to 1/2" and I was wondering how this is done.

Tube swage process is done mostly with aluminum, copper or thin wall steel. Can be accomplished on a tube or a solid rod and reduce the outside diameter down to a specific diameter using a die. Cold tube swaging is relatively quick, inexpensive and chipless.
