To install one connection, it is just not worth buying the tools
to make the connection. Look for Qest or Wirsbro fittings to
make your single connection. Here is some info:

If you are going to buy the tool anyway, look into getting the
Zurn / Oetiker type stainless steel crimp ring model, rather than
the "bolt cutter" version that requires a different tool for each
size and can be difficult to fit into small spaces. here is some

I would like to install an additional outdoor faucet and I have a
new
home that has PEX piping. I am just an average DIYer and I have
heard
that the crimping of PEX is a little tricky. True?

Also, will cutting PEX with a hacksaw be OK or do you have to
use the
PEX cutting tool?

Thanks
