I'm a plumber and I've used this on copper and PEX. The LED indicators are a lifesaver. It's compact enough for tight spots.

Expensive but worth it
I've been in the plumbing trade for thirty years and I've used the old-style press tools. This compact model is a game changer. The swivel head makes it easy to access awkward angles. The Bluetooth is a nice touch for tracking cycles, though I don't use it much. The battery life is decent for a full day's work. The only downside is the price, but it's a professional investment. I'd recommend it to any plumber.
