Jinwen 120037 Pex Cinch Clamp Fastening Tool From 3/8" To 1",Pex Cinch Crimping Tool Crimper For Stainless Steel Clamps (01)

Just switched one of my rental units to PEX because it is more forgiving if it freezes which it did last week for the second time in 5 years and all of the CPVC split again. I had never used PEX before but decided to give it a try. NO glue, NO waiting, NO flames, WOW is all I can say. So fast and so easy. This crimper is for the stainless steel rings as they are fairly easily removable and the fitting can be reused. Why use copper fittings? This crimper can do all the common sizes from 3/8 to 1" but we only used 1/2". It is rugged feeling, easy to use and so fast. It ratchets closed and open meaning you cannot release a crimp until it is all the way closed so no mistakes. All we did worked great and didn't leak. Probably only 10 fittings as it was PEX and you can avoid many fittings simply by bending the PEX to where it needs to go. My partner, a plumber by trade (copper pipe lover) was also impressed and thinks he will start using this in his business.

Way cheaper than the local stores and works perfect. Knocked off a star because the included clamps are junk, just buy the good ones locally. But still an excellent value. I probably made 50 crimps on pex with this tool and not one leak!

the pliers are great...however the rings that come with it. I would not recomend....the 1/2" all failed all just slipped off. I had to redo hours of work...I bought pex original clamps and work great, I am thinking htat hte ones that come with this may be metric...so dont use them

I had lost my original pex tool just like it, I had paid 45$ at menards for the first, then one seemed every bit as good and was nearly half the price. Great deal!

Works great with the Apollo rings from the local hardware store. No leaks! Way cheaper than the equivalent products sold in brick and mortar stores.

This tool worked perfect and got my plumbing job done. The clamps that it came with are complete trash and I would not use them as the don't clamp very good, buy a good brand of clamps. I still gave this 5 star since the tool is what I bought this for and it functioned perfectly for less than a forth of what local stores had this tool selling for.

Used on several jobs, sturdy as Apollo, fraction of the price. No leaks found on cinch rings. Would buy again.

Crimp tool is fine but included clamps did not fit 3/4 nor 1/2 inch PEX tubing I have.
