Review on 🔧 IWISS Angled Head PEX Pipe Crimping Tool Kits: 1/2-inch & 3/4-inch Copper Pex Crimps with Go/No-Go Gauge & PEX Pipe Cutters – Compliant with US F1807 Standards by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great set, an absolute must for tight spaces:

They go perfectly with my Zürn crimper. Unfortunately, YOU WEAR THEM, and BOTH hands (you won't be able to "hold" them with one hand like I was hoping) will hurt at the end of the day, especially from 3/4 on! After a dozen 3/4 crimps that was pretty much all I could do to make a few more and I have good grip strength too! In fact, I found that I used a beam to press down on the handle to make the crimp. 1/2 isn't that bad. BOTH require some getting used to and the head is thick enough that you will find it very difficult to get a "just right" crimp against the elbow (or something) when the other tube is already crimped in place without move the ferrule to the wrong place and make a BAD crimp. I ended up using My Zurn and "built the pipes" and then used them to put the built conduit in place and crimp in the "tighter" areas. I was surprised that the pipe cutter (included) was better than my BUY cutter and I actually like it a lot more! hp I found a technique that helped me a lot: when you open the jaws all the way, squeeze the handles and they lock, and when you release, they lock. This allows you to position the ferrule, tube and fitting with one hand and place the tool in the right place with the other, making crimping more precise.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
