Review on Fittings Hydraulic Crimping Crimper Pressing by Ronnie Toups

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cannot crimp hand tool tee

Some reviewers noted that the 90 degree portion of the tee cannot be crimped with this tool due to the tool size. One reviewer said there's no problem if you crimp that leg before both legs are straight. Based on this review, I bought the tool. However, I found the reviewer wrong - at least for 3/4"tees (and I'm guessing 1"). I believe the reviewer showed pictures for a 1/2" tee that might fit - I haven't tried it. A 3/4 inch tee definitely won't fit. As tube size increases, straight leg length increases. With a 3/4" tee, when a 90 degree branch is caught by the die, the straight branch does not extend past the tool body in any direction, preventing the jaws from closing.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Minor issues
