    it's better!!!!!!!!!

    This thing is fantastic.  I was even able to over flair an end for a project that uses a 1/4" tube and a much larger nut.  I am thinking of building a handle for the bottom side so in some cases it could be used under the car.  I mean hay why not make a fantastic tool even better.

    I about had a heart attack!  Don't do that again!  EVER!  LOL!!!
    I think your idea is a good one.  I agree that a vise is not the ideal anchor for the tool.  I'm sure with some thought, you will come up with an improvement on an already great tool.

    I bought the MasterKool 71475  for $299.    It works much better than any I have previously used:
