I have an iswiss PEX A manual expansion setup. It does up to 1”. I am wanting to use a 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” PEX line to my shop and at my tank. Does anyone know if the heads are all proprietary or can they work with other brands? Iswiss seems to only go up to 1”.

I don't know of any hand expander that will do anything above 1". But without actually holding the tool, it looks exactly the same as the wirsbo branded tool.

for 1.25" and above, I've only seen M18 battery powered Milwaukee tools capable of handling those. 1" and below is where you have choices. It looks like there is some crossover in the Milwaukee lineup where their M18 tool does everything 1.5" and smaller down to 0.375" (separately they have an M12 tool for up to 1"). There is a separate much larger M18 tool for 2, 2.5, and 3". see here: https://www.supplyhouse.com/ProPEX-Expander-Tools-Heads-31000
