Probably best looking at a draper one IMO Edd.

The sykes Pickavant ones are the best. The vice mounted type

Both look OK, second one would be good for on car repairs, my kit in much heavier and mounts in a vice, less versatile as per Richs comments above, you'll also need a good cutter and bundy pipe bender

I was thinking of this draper one btw.

The top one won't flare the copper nickel pipe I have
Hoping the bottom one will?
I don't really want to spend a fortune either, just need something to get the job done
Southie, I have one like that, doesn't work

I use a Sykes Pickavant one like the one below - hasn't let me down in the 10 years I have had it ...
