The 'cheap' way to get into expansion pex (Uponor; Type-a; Propex;); it's called by multiple names but all the same stuff. This tool worked very well for my project of rough plumbing 2 new bathroom sinks. I converted to Pex-A at the existing copper pipe installed originally at house build. This tool requires the appropriate head for the size Pex-A, 1/2 inch in my case; sold separately... about $30 on Home Depot Web site... put a touch of grease on the tool's cone; and then hand tighten the head in place. To operate, with handles wide open, hold the tube on the end and depress the handles; then open and insert the tool and depress again. I found a total of 3 times and the tube is expanded to reach the collar of the tool head... ready for fitting insertion. This will seem like a 3 handed activity, but using the floor as a hand to hold one tool handle works surprisingly well.

Really, really bush league
You have to have another tool/piece for this to work. Wasting my time beyond belief. I had never done it before, so i bought the "expansion tool," which wouldn't expande anything by itself.

Great for the DIYer
I bought this after balking at the price of the electric tool. I've been told, elsewhere, to just buy the electric tool as it's so much faster. While I totally get this if you're going to be doing this professionally, it's really fine to use this tool if you're only doing this for your own home. Remember a huge advantage of PEX is that you don't need to do many connections (just one at the manifold and one at the device), so a whole repipe of my house is only ~36 connections. This tool works perfectly fine for this, with each connection taking perhaps 20 seconds to do. Other reviews say you need some upper body strength for this, but I disagree, so long as you aren't doing a ton in quick succession than it's really fine, the tool's long arms do most of the work for you (thank you levers!). Really glad I didn't spend my money on the electric tool.
Be aware that you need to buy the heads separately, about 30 bucks each. You only need the ones you'll use, obviously, so don't just buy all of them.

Problem is that I only needed to fix 6 connections.... Very tough commercial grade tool, would last ten years. Took an hour to figure out and perfect usage.
Need to fully insert, squeeze about 1 second, then immediately insert.
