Tool isn't very sturdy won't release older fittings that haven't been released in a while

This tool makes those hard to reach tubing joints easy-peasy. I have a bunch of Hydoviv Brand Filters and I had to try to cut them into the tubing installations (existing) in my new Condo. Each joint took 5 minutes max. I am 82 years old and I don't bend so well anymore. This tool was the difference between having to hire a plumber or a somewhat easy DIY install. Believe me it really made a world of difference. Watch the YouTube videos. It really was that easy. One-handed operation. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOOL! Quality feel and I am sure it will pay for itself for any tradesperson.

We have been working with quick-connect fittings for over a decade, and the fact that this tool exists is great! Once you get the hang of it is very simple and fast. The clamping force may crack older, dryer tubing but this would tell us it needs to be trimmed/replaced anyway.

I ordered this because of one specific review that mentioned it worked with kegland duotight fittings and EVAbarrier tubing for beer lines in homebrewing. I did initially turn it down because the Amazon AI is, let's face it still not great and possibly biased, go figure. It told me that it would specifically not work with it and to go with another product. A week later I saw a new review about use with these my same beer equipment and he said it was a lifesaver and he is right. The little tool we have for duotight sucks and is worthless, this one is super easy to use, and it disconnected the beer lines cleanly, no fighting. The 6-8mm size was perfect for my beer lines at 8mm OD. It won't pay for itself over time, but the ease of use makes it worth the money vs the frustration of fighting with taking apart beer lines. The center prong feels flimsy like it's going to fall off since it is not under tension, but it worked perfectly. Hats off to the other reviewer.

In some places they are too big to fit into to the line released, but where you can use them they work great
