Haven't had a chance to test it yet but its a pretty rigid piece of metal so I have hope for it. I just picked up the black and decker version at Target this week for about 7 bucks.

Not worth a penny if you actually want to apply any force since it gets all twisted up. Perhaps there are better quality than this style.

That's probably not the fault of the tool itself - but rather the ability of the user to provide the needed reactive force.
