Waste of money!  There are only a few things you will use it
for and a lot of times you can get by without it.  In the case
that you do need it, your local FLAP should have a press
and for a small fee, do the job.  Even the corner repair shops
no longer have press tools, or brake laths.  Not wroth the
money.
