Used Wirsbo Expander Tool

Is there any harm in buying a used Wirsbo Expander Tool and used heads on e-bay? Do they wear out? Is there a type of damage to the heads that would effect the way they work or damage the pex pipe?

Thanks in advance.

from my limited experience of installing wirbo pex in my house, i would say no.

the expaners can wear out but usually
they last a long time when they are only being used
for DIY type stuff.

If it's a fair price I would jump on it.Ask the guy flat out about its condition.

Most of the used Wirsbo expanders you will see on E-Bay were used by DiYers on a project at home then seeing as they were done and never going to use it again are selling them on E-Bay to get some of their money back.

I'd say most plumbers once they have bought a tool even if they probably will never use it again will keep it just in case.

So more than likely you are looking at a light usage tool.
