Hydraulic Copper Pipe Crimping Tool 1/2-1"

They do the job pretty good and even we are ladies with our strength of tidying it up. It didn't lick leak. They're easy to be used. Is it to be moved in a tight areas? Well worth it for the money

I got this for emergency repairs. I got a 1/2 price used version but waited a month. Worth it to be able to do repairs on wet pipes or areas where a torch is not advisable. Also, ProPress fittings are much cheaper and more robust than Sharkbites. Tho heavy and awkward, the force needed is reasonable.

Just used for the first time to redo my house filter valves and bypass. Works good but its heavy and hard to keep from rotating the fittings while pumping it. Also, the head on it is bulky and had a hard time getting it on the T-fitting. Had to grind down a couple spots on the tool to fit where it contacted the ribs. Otherwise it works well

I did a lot of research before I settled on this tool. I'm only a DIY and doing some occasional plumbing repairs, but this tool is solid and works quite well. I was impressed with how well built it is. The dies are also quite good. Nice tool for a DIY'er.

The tool is awesome, but be aware: if you have a tight space or lot of tee-s you might have an issue. I was able to replace existing plumbing, but had a snag on the first tee. Tee can be crimped ONLY in one specific position, when the long part of the tee goes in parallel with the tool. It makes a job a little bit trickier, so I had to assemble some parts of the line on the ground, and because of this had a couple of wasted fittings. I will probably return this tool but only to get a newer thinner version of it. Also note, that tool opens from one side only, this is where it may create issues in forked branches or tight spaces. I’m happy with result, but would like the tool even more if I read reviews before buying. Will see how the line holds up.

This pipe crimping tool was great and fixed my plumbing issues without having to spend the quoted $1,500. It was easy to use and saved me a lot of money. Highly recommend!

Perfect for the DIY. Used it to install Several press copper connectors and a ball valve. Work perfectly. It is a pretty beefy tool. But still fits into relatively tight locations. It is kind of heavy so when using overhead can tax the arms a little bit but not a big deal. Considering a cordless version of this tool is in the neighborhood of eight or $1000 at this Price point it's an awesome alternative for something you only have to do a couple times a year. It seems to be made very very well. If you have to call a plumber to do a simple repair this pays for it self on the first use. And, no chance of burning your house down. Comes in a nice case as well. also a kit of spare parts, o rings etc.

Works great for straight connections, 45° elbows and 90° elbows. Not so much tees. The head interferes with tee fittings, at least the tee fittings I was trying to use.

Works as described. If you are new to this system pay attention to what fittings you crimp first as the head is bulky and doesn't fit well in tight spaces. Overall, it's an excellent tool I just wish it had an indicator to know when your fully crimped but then it would most likely cost more. One thing I found (probably because I crimp until it bottoms out) is that the one die always sticks to the fittings after I crimp. For the amount of plumbing I do, it is very minor.

An extreamly handy well priced tool no diy handy man should be without , so easy to use and quick .

The crimper is great, does the work much faster than welding does and a better job. I love it, it was well worth the price... :)

Great press tool for the folks on a budget.

This looks to be a well made unit, and the hydraulic pump seems to work well . However the dies are the wrong size for standard Australian copper crimp fittings . This makes the unit useless in Australia.
