Default Grip 1/4" metal pipe without marring?

Hi,
Anyone have a good method to grip metal pipe without marring?
I'm looking for a DIY method, hopefully with basic tools.
It's 1/4" zinc plated pipe and I have another 1/4" pipe with a smooth
finish(i think it's stainless). Both pipes have 1/4" MPTs and I'm
trying to fit some female fittings on the ends.

Also, if there is some special tool(reasonably priced I hope) that
would make thinks much easier, let me know. What do the pros use?

Thanks!

-joe
