try checking local plumbing supply or home depot, they probably rent
the PEX tool


I know a tobacco chewing plumber friend who once told me he'd never use
anything but copper. Well he's changed his mind. The tools needed aren't
that costly, about the same as a good torch & pipe cutters. Anyway, thanks
for the info that I picked up. Soldering next to pex pipe doesn't look
like a wise thing to do.........just hate copper compression fittings
though.
