Boy, I see prices have gone up. I have the now $45 one, part #35-0115, but I think it was nearly $10 less a few years back when I got it. It's a wonderful tool and works very well. I wouldn't waste my money on the $100 one.
DIY with a c-clamp my cost $1.00 for the slightly bent c-clamp at a salvage store. works very well.

$6 all weekend rental, right here--OH YEAH!!!
I used a friends once that made one from a giant C-clamp but it ended up grooving my valve ends as I tightened or loosened it, he hadn't added a dual spinning head type thing so, every time I twisted the throttle of it..well...ya get it...
So I'll get one one day--
This is a good topic
