Foreign-made product works well
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Just began using this item for 1/2″ PEX. I had to calibrate it out of the box, but that was simple. I had just one ring during my install that didn’t ‘feel’ right when I crimped it and sure enough that was the only leaker I had. In other words, it is easy to get a feel for good/bad crimps with this easy to use tool once calibrated. Only complaint w/ the package is you get a “go” gauge, but not a “no-go” gauge like some other packages. It’s 14″ length can get you into trouble (but nice for the leverage it creates). I couldn’t open up the tool wide enough when crimping a ring for a pedestal sink that was near the wall corner. Plan ahead and you can avoid this inconvenience.
