DEFINITELY download/read PM-Me-You-Coupons's info, although it has serious advantages, watch out, I believe it can't tolerate pressures as high as the crimped PEX, also the pipes are NOT UV STABILIZED, so you can't use them in outdoor location, so you wouldn't want to like, use for air lines in your garage at like 200 psi.
What you'll do is: Lop off the copper line you need to work on with a pipe cutter, solder on a transition to PEX-A which you can find at Supply House, hardware store, or big box https://www.homedepot.c
It's especially nice when sweating on a valve, those are always tough when you're like me and you're only doing it like once a year and half the time you end up overheating the nylon inside and ruining it. Another advantage being that you can be strategic about where you're cutting/soldering. All the time copper pipes run near wires and other things that don't react well to torches, so you can chop and transition in places where the copper is all alone and use PEX fittings near the sensitive/flammable stuff.
So it's kind of a niche tool and certainly very overpriced but the messes it can get you out of MAY make it worth the price. Especially when you're a weirdo like me who doesn't trust compression fittings as much as I should.
