Review on πŸ”§ IWISS F1960 Expansion Tool with PEX Cutter & Expansion Heads for Uponor ProPex Type Rings - 3/8'', 1/2'', 3/4'', 1'' by Steven Hudson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Low-cost option for a reason.

I bought this to do PEX for my laundry renovation. I had to move the water heater from one corner to the other and move the washer and dryer down a few feet. Installing the first 3/4 inch tube pumps requires some force and can be tricky when connecting to existing plumbing in tight spaces. However for occasional use on 3/4" pipe or less. as a budget option is ideal. I ran into a problem when trying to extend a 1" pipe already installed in the ceiling I was working from a ladder and couldn't muster the force needed to fully expand the tube and rotate it as many times as needed. As a result, my connection leaked, and I eventually progressed to a plug for that area .While this tool has worked for most of my required backdated 20/20's and now have experience with this tool I would happily purchase a cordless extension tool however I don't see any project being the last I've used this tool on , so it might be worth spending more on something else.
