Ryobi 18-Volt ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless PEX Tubing Clamp Tool (Tool Only) P660

I am not a professional plumber, I started using cinch rings for PEX plumbing many years ago. I have gone through a lot of the crimping tools over the years. It’s also always a juggling act to get the cinch ring in the right spot, hold the fittings, and crimp at the same time. Crimping anything over 3/4” requires some pretty solid effort with a manual crimping tool. This thing is one-handed operation, crimps any size of ring with no effort. Although after a hard days work it starts to get heavy. I did dozens of connections and the 4AH battery never dropped below half.

When I first started working with pex we used copper crimo rings and I can't say I ever had a leak when the ring was installed properly. However, unless you have multiple tools set up for different sizes it's a hassle changing the cramp head on the tool for different size pipe. When the pinch clamp came out it solved that issue as one tool could pinch the different sizes of rings. The only issue I found was as the ring size increased so did the effort needed to make the clamp. When I got to one inch rings it was most difficult with a hand tool sometimes almost impossible. When Ryobi introduced their battery powered pinch clamp tool at a reasonable price it was a blessing. I have found this tool handles all sizes with these. Being a larger tool sometimes it is difficult to get into a tight area, but for the majority of the time it works great. I will say I don't use Ryobi batteries. I simply purchased an adapter off Amazon that allows me to slide in 18 Volt Mikita batteries instead as our battery powered tools are all Makita. If you're doing PEX and doing any quantity of piping I highly recommend this tool.

This pex crimper works better than expected. And it saves labor and time. And I think Ryobi is the only manufacturer for these type of crimps.

Makes the job much easier. Anyone can use this. Great value for the money.

Good product

I love this thing. Before I had it, I was manually crimping rings by hand, which if you have the room to do it, it works. If you don’t have the space to do it, it just won’t.In steps the Ryobi tool. This thing is stout. It’s a one-button operation, has a built in go/no-go gauge, a pocket clip (it’ll pull your pants down. This thing’s heavy), and works with 18v Ryobi batteries.It’s a powerful and fast crimper, it’s just the right size to fit into very tight spaces, and it makes your jobs go so much faster.If you’re working with PEX, you need this tool. Seriously, it’s a job saver.

I am a DIYer and was looking for a cordless Pex pinch clamp tool. Did I really need one? NO. I already have a manual ratcheting Pex clamp tool for my RV that is plumbed with Pex but I am in the process of remodeling my master bath and am going to use PEX so it is an excellent excuse to buy one...plus I like tools and gadgets.I purchased the tool only, along with a battery adapter so I can use my DeWalt 20V Max batteries in it.This tool is well built and has some weight to it. It does not feel cheap and it has a nice beefy feel to it in your hand. FYI, This tool is for the PEX pinch cinch clamps, the tool pinches the clamp from the side. This tool is NOT for the Pex Crimp clamps rings , the tool that goes around the whole PEX clamp and squeezes it down.The tool works great and cinches the clamp tight. The great thing about using this tool is that you only need one hand to make the crimp. You can hold the PEX pipe tight against the fitting with one hand and use the tool with the other to make a perfect crimp. With the ratcheting hand tool you need both hands to use the tool. I really like this tool and recommend it...
