KOTTO Pex Crimping Clamp Cinch Tool and Pipe Hose Cutter Meets ASTM 2098, Pipe Fitting Tool Kit for Stainless Steel Clamps Sizes from 3/8" to 1" with 20pcs 1/2", 10 pcs 3/4" Clamps With Storage Bag

This is a great set, with all I needed for my bathroom renovation project. It comes with several clamps in two sizes. The tool is great at cutting and at clamping - all joints made were leak-free and very tight. The tool ratchets until tight enough and then releases when ready, so no guess work involved in applying the right amount of tension - highly recommended.

Used this to replumb my hot water lines in the basement. The rings that came with it weren't that great but I didn't expect much of them. Switched to local hardware store sourced crimp rings after the 2nd fitting and things went much smoother. Crimp tool itself has some picadillos of operation that took some figuring. But once you realize that head of the tool has to be centered in the 'slop' It's much smoother sailing. All being said decent enough tool for home use but I would likely get a professional grade one of I did this for a living.

This clinching tool along with the pipe hose cutter and crimp clamp rings took care of a bathroom tub and shower connection that I put off for a while because I was debating on re-running copper pipe or go-with-the PEX piping. So, I decided on going with PEX. Went to the Home Depot to see what tools I needed to my surprise, the tool alone that can handle 1/2 "- 1" crimps was running well over $50.00. No crimp rings, no cutting tool, no nice carrying bag, nothing! So, what do you do in a situation like that? Head on over to Amazon.com and search for one and without much effort, I found the KOTTO Pex Crimping Clamp Cinch Tool and Pipe Hose Cutter that came with a calibration plate and crimp rings for 1/2" and 3/4" PEX pipe. The cutting tool sliced thru the 1/2" PEX pipe like it was butter! The lightweight tool was also able to trim off 1/8" of the PEX without slipping if you keep a steady hand. The crimps were clean and did not disengage until the crimp was complete. I have two more piping projects coming up in the house and I cannot wait to use it again. Good price with extras.

I recently completed a bath renovation. My plumber left all the Pex capped fo my vanity and toilet. I didn’t want to pay for him to come back and install some shutoffs so I bought this kit. Worked perfectly. Cutter cuts like butter. The cinch tool seems like a quality tool. A little hard to get started cinching but i worked great. The ratchet system just releases at the end so you know you’re done. I went and bought different rings because reviewers said they had issues. I bought some Sharkbite rings. Other than that, for what I’m using this for which is around my house and probably a handful of times, it is definitely worth the money.

After reading positive reviews on this site, I ordered one for a bathroom renovation. This tool works like a charm; the plumbers who roughed in my bathroom plumbing, left it too low to the ground so I ordered this to finish the job. I have not done any plumbing in my life but this tool made it easy. Probably saved 500 bucks in labour and it is straight forward. The only thing I found is the clamps that come with this unit are bigger than the ones you can find in the hardware store, this comes into play when you are trying to close the clamps, the ones in the kit slip around but provide a good seal and the ones in the hardware store stay in place, so it is easier to use the hardware store clamps.
