iCrimp Mini PEX Pipe Quick Cinch Tool Set for Stainless Steel Clamp from 3/8-inch to 1-inch with Pex Cutter,20pcs 1/2-inch and 10pcs 3/4-inch Stainless Steel Clamps included

Great value, I keep this in my RV.

I originally purchased these to make some pex connections on a bathrooms shower fixture unit. They worked great. Since then Ive made some gas torch hose connections with some double eared pex hose clamps. They worked great. Im happy I have this tool in my tool set, I can reach for.

Using this tool is very simple and easy to use. The included cutters are easy to cut PEX pipe. The crimper is easy to crimp and makes it effortless. Good build quality on both tools as well as PEX pinch clamps. Had no issues with any leaks. Plumbing is made easy with PEX and best of all, no soldering. The crimp tool is small and compact, good for tight spaces. The finish quality is good, showing no signs of wear.

There is a reason most crimpers have long handles like bolt cutters. With this crimpers short handles, it is very hard to get the crimp started. Not something you can do at arms length (unless you're Hercules). However, once you make it to the second ratchet and can wrap your hands around the handles it goes easy. The cutters cut PEX like a hot knife through butter. For the price, this was a good purchase.

I cinched up pex to copper fitting, worked flawlessly first time. Very easy to figure out, but does require some strength to use. If you plan on using it several times a year it is perfect. If you have a large job or doing work daily you will end up with some huge pec muscles. I would suggest a ratchet style tool for that type of work or if working between floor joists. This new smaller version with a shorter nose section is nice because it takes up less space in the tool bag/box/drawer. Even though the tool is compact it might not work in a compact area since the handles need to be open nice and wide. The cinch tool is extremely well built, heavy thick metal, with no flex. The bonus cutter tool works, but feels cheap, thin metal and flimsy. The actual crimps are definitely stainless steel, uniform and no sharp edges. I couldn't find the location of manufacturer on the tool or package, but everything seems of great quality except the cutters seems like a Chinese export.

Excellent, well built tools and comes with quality fasteners that will last. It even has instructions and a storage box. For the DIYer, excellent choice rather than the big bucks buying in a hardware or plumbing store.

Worked Great, Working in a very tight area in one of our service bays in our Motor Coach. Using the iCrimp Mini Tool for leak repairs. Easy to use without a lot of effort. Would recommend this when working in tight areas.

You need lots of muscle to crimp them and you need two people. You have to use both hands to begin closing the crimper so you need someone to hold the clam in place. Once you have it started and the crimpers have closed the distance between the handles you might be able to close them with one hand, but doubtful. They worked fine for me, but had 2 people doing it and didn't work in any real tight spaces.
