Bought to see how I like crimp fittings before I buy a more expensive power crimper.This works better than I expected for the price. It’s a little heavy and won’t fit in real tight spaces but for most stuff it should be fine. I didn’t think it was hard to crimp like other reviews claimed. I have a pex band crimper that’s harder to use than this. The first time I used it I was prepared to really squeeze and was surprised how easy it was. It’s first use was to Install a tankless water heater and I crimped about 15 joints in less than 5 min after fitting and prep. Definitely a good tool if you don’t want to spend the thousands it costs for a power crimper or only need it occasionally.
