Review on Fittings Hydraulic Crimping Crimper Pressing by Mike Donathan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great tool with a design flaw - cannot crimp a tee

Great tool with a major design flaw. Very strong and heavy tool. Works very well and easily seals all pressure fittings. But the tool has one serious drawback: it can't crimp tees because the vise head is too thick and the indentations allow the tee to sit down and lock the crimp latch. I don't know how they overlooked something like this. almost like they never tested it and never tested it. Very disappointing from a design perspective as I am now stuck with a tool that can only crimp straight sections, sleeves, 45's and 90's. Incredible design flaw. I wish I had tested earlier so I could return it.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Great price
