KOTTO Ratchet PEX Crimping Clamp Cinch Tool & Pipe Hose Cutter Meets ASTM 2098 & Stainless Steel Pipe Clamps, Pipe Fitting Tool Kit Sizes 3/8" to 1" - 20 pcs 1/2", 10 pcs 3/4" Clamps With Storage Bag

This product has worked perfectly for me. Takes a little getting used to for the clamp but all in all for the money, excellent.

GREAT PRODUCT.

Using this tool, will make you wish you had a third arm in the center of your chest. One hand to position the clamp where you want it, and the other two to start the crimp. I found that in most cases, the handles were quite far apart when starting a crimp, causing me to grip close to the business end which loses the mechanical advantage of long handles. I typically order large size gloves so I don't have a small grip. Occasionally, I noticed that the handles don't want to close. It's difficult to say whether the ratcheting mechanism is getting in the way and blocking the movement or there is something else happening. When it happens, I have usually removed the tool from the crimp area to have a look and it moved just fine doing an air crimp. Putting the tool back on the crimp clamp and then it works... Personally, I would have preferred 20mm (5/8") crimps instead of the 23mm (1 inch) or even a small selection of several sizes crimp clamps. While the 1/2" ones fit on pex pipe before it get jammed on to the barbed end of a connector, they won't fit if you are using flexible tubing, so I needed to buy another crimp kit that included the 5/8" versions. They tightened up great, no leaksI would say this was a good purchase. It does what it's supposed to do and would be fine for the occasional use, but probably not if you were a real plumber, get a better tool.

Having never worked on PEX tubing before, I was shocked to see how much the tools to cut the tubing and to crimp the clamps cost. I was hopeful this tool set would get the job done and it did! Including the clamps is a nice bonus. I needed to replace a couple of shut off valves under the sink and this set got the job done. All at a cost less than a quarter of buying the tools at a home improvement store.

Ordered this to replace a couple of water shut off valves in my camper trailer. Worked like a charm. I keep it in the camper with an extra length of pex hose so I can promptly address any water leak issues while out in the sticks.

This is a great pex tool set I highly recommend it and it's a good quality.

This was a great option for me because I just needed the tool to repair a leak and reroute the piping on a new RV toilet install. Prior to ordering, I took a fieldtrip to Lowe's to price out the tools and I wasn't interested in investing in the cinch tool ($80-$100) and the pipe cutting tool ($25-$30) especially since I probably wasn't going to use it a bunch outside of the initial project.I considered trying to 'cheap out' and use a pair of needle nose pliers to clamp and a miter saw to cut the PEX to size , but I'm really glad I didn't. The clamps were harder to close than I anticipated, but the cinch tool made quick work of them (I don't know that I would've had the leverage required with a pair of regular pliers). The cutting tool was amazing. Very little force was needed to cut and the cuts were super clean!The carrying case is an added plus because I'm keeping it in my RV in case there are any future PEX problems and it keeps everything organized and stores away nicely in an area where I don't have a lot of extra storage.I can't speak to the longevity of the tools, since I will hopefully only need to use them once or twice, but they definitely made the job easier and saved me a lot of time and money from taking it to someone else to do the work.

Don't expect much from this kit. It doesn't give you much. For the money it is OK though and will get you by for a simple quick fix. Does not come with enough different clamps.
