  • No calibration adjustment necessary. Apollo brand.
I bought this to do a pex project at the house. The brand on the packaging and handle said Apollo. The Apollo brand and part number is the same sold by both the big blue store and big orange store by my house at 50% cheaper on Amazon from Conbraco. I did the calibration test in the instructions before using it. I didn't have to make any adjustments. I was able to put the two calibration pieces in a little bag, tie it with wax lacing tape and stuff it down the handle. That way, I won't lose them or forget what they are for. I crimped a ton of 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch pex clamps with these crimpers. They work great and crimp very easily. I have used the knipex that don't ratchet before and this is easier and makes a tighter crimp. Pretty awesome tool. I looked into the crimp rings vs the pinch clamps. I imagine if you are doing this for a living or have an extremely large project, you could end up cheaper in the long run going with the crimp rings. (A better guess is that a professional has both though.)The reason being is because the rings are cheaper than the pinch clamps. The down side is that the crimpers are way more expensive. They also must go all the way around the clamp and hose so they would be more difficult to get into tight spaces. ... show more

  • The most economical system for Pex
This is by far the most economical Pex fastening system out there. I've used this tool with several brands of barb fittings (Watts, Oertiker and Sharkbite for example) and have never had one leak. It is great to use when access is an issue where you can't braze copper or use a Wirsbo pex fitting. If you are just in need doing just a limited amount of piping, you will have a hard time amortizing the cost of this tool over the cost of a couple of push-fit couplings, however if you have a good sized project you may want to seriously consider this tool as an option. Something to consider about using this tool is that the clamp fittings are smaller in diameter than the Pex tubing. I'm not sure how much of a restriction this causes as it would greatly depend on a number of different factors but that is a major difference between the barb-type Pex connectors and something like Wirsbo or push-fit connectors. The main advantage is cost. As far as barb fittings go, this is the least expensive system I have seen. ... show more

  • No more leaks! Cheaper than a plumber!
I hated that we had to buy this, but our landlord hired an unlicensed plumber to redo the plumbing on the house, and we found that his connections tended to be leaky. After trying to get him to come out and fix it, I just decided to fix it myself. This tool gives the user good leverage, and won't release unless the ring has been clamped down tight. Simple and easy to use. The only issue I can see with this tool would be that if you are working in tight spaces you may have issues. The handles open wide, and while it helps to give a good clamp, I can see where it could be an issue for some. My connections have been in use for six months without leaking so I'm pretty happy! ... show more

  • Good homeowner's tool with minor limitations
Functionally, this crimp tool is great. Perfect crimps every time, as long as you don't let the bands get crooked on the pipe. Build quality has been good. I've done about 50 joints in 1/2" and around 15 in 3/4 ". This is not a pro-level tool but I have re-plumbed my entire 2 bathroom house and could probably do the same job again. My only real gripe is that I had a rather difficult time with this tool in tight spots. There is no mechanical advantage so the handles do need to be long to generate enough clamping force. It would have been perfect if the handles didn't have to open nearly 180 degrees before slipping the tool onto a cinch clamp. Effort required to perform a crimp was acceptable but these were difficult to start in tighter spots. All in all, these are a good deal and I'm glad I purchased them. ... show more

  • Perfect!
Works perfectly for installing PEX even for someone with small hands.

  • Works great.
Used these on 3/4 pex and they worked great. Despite other reviews I had no problem squeezing the clamps closed even in some cramped spots. Tool seems sturdy and the calibration is quite easy. Just go to the web site for full instructions. Mine was correctly set when I got it. Much cheaper here than the home stores. They don't seem to stock the lower cost versions. Big surprise. ... show more

  • Simple Reliable Pex Connections
This tool is great! I recently finished my own basement, including my own electrical, HVAC, framing, etc. it was the plumbing that I was most apprehensive of doing myself. The rest of my house is plumbed with Pex so I knew that was what needed to be done. I had read and watched videos on Pex installation and decided to take the plunge and give it a shot. The plumbing turned out to be BY FAR the easiest part of finishing the basement! I put in a bathroom and small kitchen, and the plumbing was so easy! There are two types of pex fasteners. There are crimp rings, which this tool does not do. Then there are cinch clamps, which is what this tool uses. From everything that I have watched and read, the cinch clamps are just as good as the crimp rings, but are much easier to install. The only critical part is to make sure you and tightening them the right amount. The tool needs to be adjusted to clamp them correctly! The too. Comes with an adjusting gauge, that tells you if it's too tight or loose. Search YouTube for a video on how to adjust it! The tool doesn't come with sufficient instructions on how to adjust it, and mine needed adjustment before I could use it! If I had used it right out of the box the clamps would have been too loose, and susceptible to leaks. You need to adjust it! I did about 30 total connections, and have not had a single leak. Buy this tool, it's great! ... show more
