A sturdy and high quality tool that I've been looking for, a... long time! Works great for copper as described, but also is excellent for internally stretching nylon tubing! The price for this kind of tool is marvelous. I was pleasantly surprised by its stout and rigid construction. One can easily expand a tube with a very small i.d. (6mm). Nice.

I find that when used it leaves the tubing in an... oval shape and not round. It is not quite what I expected but it is useful none the less. It has its place. I use a punch wedging tool for better performance. I have to clamp the pipe when I use the punch where the new tool is a little more friendly to use just not as round as preferred. Just my preference.

I got the little gizmo and looked it over and kind of de...cided it was garbage. Threw it in the tool bag and 2 days later I needed to expand some 1/4" OD copper to 3/8" to fit a filter dryer. I looked the pictorial drawings over and gave it a try. Worked very easily, in fact I kind of pushed it out too big. If you have room to get it in a space it won't disappoint you. Just check the sizing as you go, and it can be a great little tool. :)
