Review on πŸ”’ Effortlessly Secure Your Pipes with Apollo PEX 69PTKG1096 Stainless Steel Pinch Clamp Tool by Pedro Curtis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Stamped sheet metal frame bends and flexes in different directions

Wow I thought this was a fantastic deal at less than half the price of the HD and Lws but I was very wrong, I also noticed that the Calibration screw is very loose, not knowing if the adjustment has slipped from the original position, so I thought I should calibrate the device and lock the screw in place, I followed the procedure according to the website instructions and found that after the 1st bite it wasn't tightening enough so after fumbling with the set screw and biting off the glow rod again I found that there still wasn't enough play so I went back and forth a few more times , up to the fourth try and BRAVO ! I finally got it. I then applied blue threadlock to the set screw and after a few hours I decided to double check my work and see if the calibration procedure for the 5th rod clamp held up. I found that I'm not allowed to put the handles together, the frame has jammed the serrated pawl, on further inspection I found that the stamped tool's frame was twisted and crooked as it could be, I have yet to tighten a clamp! What a complete piece of china crap. went into the store and bought an actual tool, not stamped sheet metal, $70, but it's a tool I haven't had in a long time. Good luck and a Merry, Merry Christmas to everyone
