🔒 Effortlessly Secure Your Pipes with Apollo PEX 69PTKG1096 Stainless Steel Pinch Clamp Tool Review

This crimping machine is very strong and well built; I used it with Watts stainless steel PEX clamps. The biggest complaint about this tool is that it takes incredible force to crimp! Sometimes I have to pull on one handle with both hands and hold the other handle to my chest. It also means it's very difficult to crimp in tight spaces as you have to have FULLY open handles for it to snap into the terminals. So make sure you plan your crimps accordingly.

I didn't have to make any adjustments. I was able to fit two size pieces in a small bag, tie them together with wax tape, and tuck them into the handle. That way I won't lose them or forget what they are for. I've…

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…

This tool is great! I recently finished my own basement, including my own electrics, HVAC, frames, etc. This was the plumbing job I was most afraid of doing myself. The rest of my house has Pex piping, so I knew this was the thing. I read and watched videos about installing Pex and decided to take a chance and give it a try. The plumbing turned out to be the CRAZY easiest part of completing the basement! I installed a bathroom and small kitchen and the installation was so easy! There are two…
