  I have never seen a plumber use any of those except the compression ferrul=
e puller.   That includes working around one who makes my tool acquisition d=
isorder look mild.  I expect they work, but are just not worth carrying arou=
nd. =20

If you want to spend the money on tools, get some knipex cobras and pliers w=
renches, assuming you don=E2=80=99t already have them.  They=E2=80=99re gene=
rally useful, and better than channellocks and a crescent wrench for this ty=
pe of work.=20=
