Small Inexpensive PEX Crimper for DIYers
I caught this on a news group for RVers.
I thought people here might be interested. As I am building a new house with PEX, I will probably buy one for my 1st modification requirement, probably a sink in the basement. http://www.pexcrimper.com/index.html |

TDD Just ensure you have the right types of collars for this type of crimper. This item looks handy for an occassional one or two collar connection, but I wouldn't want to do anything more extensive with it. The system I used had a ratchet type tool to crimp down the collar, similar to http://www.pexsupply.com/PEX-Clamp-Tool-Clamps-560000 The advantages are that a mis-crimped collar is easily snipped and removed, and you can't over/under tighten the collar. It also takes only a few seconds per connection. For a newbie like me, the $75 tool was an excellent investment. |

Sorry if Im wrong but this smells like SPAM. Jimmie It's SPAM if you want to read it that way, however, I have nothing to do with the company. I found the link on another newsgroup rec.outdoors.rv-travel where someone presented it in a similar manner for an inexpensive tool for use in RVs. As for the house, it's a matter of $$$$. I'm hemorrhaging cash right now, so, some things just have to wait. |

You can get the ratchet type tool on eBay for a bit over half of what they sell it for on pexsupply.com. R |
