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.
FWIW: I used this:

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:http://www.pexcrimper.com/images/testimonials.jpg

The OP is going to use the expander system
