Tool for duplicate code detection

I have spent some time evaluating freeware tools which can identify duplicate code.

I had mixed success with PMD/CPD, phpcpd, and others, until finally I came across Duplicate Code Finder. This is a visual tool compiled into a single 33KB exe, and seems to work perfectly.

Only one downside - all the labels in the tool are in German, so you might need to keep a Google translate window open while you're using it...
