The tool seems to be quite expensive. But the real point is, how practical and useful is it in real terms in plumbing?
Is this a useful tool?

Turn the water off or freeze the pipe.
Most plumbing pipes have an isolator though I find.
Useful tool?.. Maybe. Probably wouldn't get used much if at all.
Might be a bit harder to use on cold water inlet though with the water pressure.

Jet Swet tools are well made & work well - but there are far cheaper alternatives available.
There were trench & slabs emergency situations or isolated gushing pipework behind high end office panelling where Jet Swet saved my day and $100's in costs. But best practice when you get one - & carry spare gaskets.

Yes great info thanks. I was given a set of the tool by my retired relatives - 15mm and 22mm, and it seems very good at blocking water from the pipes.
But I am not into soldering pipes yet. It seems very useful tool for soldering pipes in the videos. Hence I was not sure if the tool would be useful in other circumstance or jobs.
But it could be useful for stopping water from the pipe in other job situation. I was just wondering if there would be some other lower priced tools for stopping or blocking water from the pipes just by plugging in. If so, then this tool would be redundant for me until I start soldering the pipes.
