PEX Crimping

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? A little reading. The link below helped me git-r-done. Don't crimp until you have the connectors in place and are happy. Let the crimping tool do the work...it's not forced. Use the gauge (go - no-go tool) to check the crimps. http://www.vanguardpipe.com/pdfs/Man...nstallInst.pdf Also, will cutting PEX with a hacksaw be OK or do you have to use the PEX cutting tool? Any cutter like those used to cut irrigation PVC and tubing.
