I decided to get this tool after mine broke. My old one was similar to this one but the Uniweld is heavy and bulky. The pipe stop is a little tricky to use because the flaring die protrudes near it. One frustrating thing is the washer on the clamp slides down if you have it sideways, it’s a pain to reposition it. Another thing that might be an issue in the future is the labeling for each pipe size on the dies is a sticker and I already see it lifting a little after only a week. Having said all that it makes perfect flares.
