Did the job, saved thousands

Stove leaked prematurely because a drunk plumber installed faulty copper lines. Pex rushes to the rescue. Instead of hammering into the concrete foundation, I found a way to reroute the faulty line through the attic. With pex and this tool, the repair was easy. A heavy duty expander would have been nice, but I only needed it for a few connections as I kept the number of fittings to a minimum on long runs. I don't know if I can increase the size by 1 inch as 3/4 inch was heavy. Not the tool's fault, but the 3/4" PEX is pretty stiff for expansion. But the levers against the ground did the trick. This tool rivals more expensive brands, so you're lucky to find one.

Pros
  • Nice touch
Cons
  • Some flaws
