Our Home Depot has a display where you can play with the
SharkBites.
Put them together, take them apart, PEX to Copper, etc.

When I bought the ones I used, I didn't bother spending the
$3 (?) on
the disassembly tool. All you really need is anything that
will push
the release ring evenly back into the fitting.

I don't recall what I used, but I took one apart at home
just as a
test and had no problem using some tool or object that was
just laying
around the shop.

I can actually see not buying one. It takes all of 5 minutes to make.
I can imagine SBs used in some tight locations may be near impossible
to disconnect without a specially fabricated tool.
