I bought a cheap one years ago. It was OK for anything but the most popular size.... 3/16. The clamp press thingy has to rotate and hit the side of the line holder thingy. Works out except in the 3/16 position one of the sides of the clamp press thingy (looks like a puller) hits the nut on the line clamp which pushes everything at an angle and causes a horrid crimp.
I used it like a dozen times, I would clamp it in a vise and hold the press thing with a crescent wrench. Well I don't have a vise yet at home AND I loaned it out once not thinking. The mandrel on the 3/16 flare button got bent.
I bought another, spent like 60 bucks and it worked much better still not what I wanted. I couldn't check it out, it was in a plastic box wrapped with cardboard sleeve and plastic saran wrap. Gotta love these days.
I wonder how much you have to pay to get a really good one.
About $200.
