I started with expansion PEX not too long after Wirsbo came to the US. And I had their early battery expansion tool as well - no way was I hand-pumping anything above 3/4" tubing. And their collars had no ridge to keep it from sliding. On slightly wet pipe it was nearly impossible to keep the collar in place while expanding.
Sometimes life gets a lot better as time moves on. These have a nice stop to keep the collar in place. I have not had a single one fail in any way. And they are reasonably priced. And I like them better than the offering by Uponor. I have tried a few brands now - one sold on Amazon that was inexpensive I tossed in the garbage when four our of six collars split on me. However, for this brand I have had no problems of any kind. They slide on fairly easily assuming the tube has cut without changing shape - expand without too much trouble, and definitely clamp back down. Just what they should do.
