29 customers mention21 positive8 negative

Customers like the clamp. They say it does a very nice job of clamping, is a great tool, and is less expensive than quick-connects. Customers say that the clamps are very strong and make a tighter crimp. They also mention that the pliers are easy to use and can easily clamp Pex tubing.

30 customers mention14 positive16 negative

Customers are mixed about the tightness of the crimping pliers. Some mention that it leaves a really tight fit with no chance of a leak, works in tight spaces and fits a variety of sizes. However, others say that the handles are too short, it was too big for tight quarters, and the adjustment/locking screws were loose.

"...the way around the clamp and hose so they would be more difficult to get into tight spaces." Read more

"...Every clamp installed with this tool was tight and leak free." Read more

"...There is no mechanical advantage so the handles do need to be long to generate enough clamping force...." Read more

"Calibrated before using. Gets the pex clamps very tight. I did find it best to retighten each clamp a second time...." Read more

24 customers mention2 positive22 negative

Customers dislike the portability of the crimping pliers. They mention that it is not really suitable for one hand operation, and it takes both hands to complete the CINCH on the rings. The leverage of the product requires quite a lot of force, and you need plenty of space to work with so that you can operate it with two strong arms.

"...There is no mechanical advantage so the handles do need to be long to generate enough clamping force...." Read more

"...If you are working in cramped quarters, it may be difficult to get enough leverage to start squeezing the clamp...." Read more

"The fit and finish is good, they work well. These ARE NOT one handed by any means! It takes both hands to complete the CINCH on the rings...." Read more

"...must open very wide (much wider than the pictures) so it takes two hands to crimp which makes it even harder to use in a cramped location...." Read more

Online description says it will do 3/8's to 1 inch clamps, the packaging doesn't say anything about 1 inch clamps. I will use it anyway on the few inch I have to do, but they should change either the description or package so it says the same thing. My jaws are a bit loose and are not even at the top, I notched it down for that and the description error.
Thank you for your feedback
