Yes they do. I've replaced the supply side of my copper system with
PEX from the service entrance right to the shut off valves for the
toilet and sinks.

Soooo much cheaper than a ratchet crimper and gets into tighter spots
too!

You also need vise grips with that tool. Seems tough to get both in a
tight space?

Have you seen the size of the ratchet crimpers? Plus, with the
vice-grips, you can squeeze the tool at almost angle - I crimped
connections up over the foundation sill between joists which I never
would have been able to get at with a traditional tool.

This is a perfect illustration of the usefulness:

PS - The ratchet crimpers are over $200 at the DIY stores where I live.
$35? No contest.

I bought crimpers (Crimp master) for our master bath remodel. It was
cheaper than rental for the days needed...given the long drive to rent
the tool.

I ended up with another new tool
