iCrimp Angle Head F1807 PEX Pipe Crimping Tool - Tight Space Crimper

Our review of the iCrimp Angle Head F1807 PEX Pipe Crimping Tool finds it most useful for DIY plumbers and tradespeople who regularly work in confined areas. The single biggest reason to buy is its angled head and combo crimping dies for 1/2 in and 3/4 in copper rings, which make difficult connections in cramped spaces far easier to reach and complete reliably. The tool's tool steel construction and included GO NO GO gauge offer the assurance of a correct crimp without damaging fittings.

Key Features

• ASTM F1807 compliance: Ensures the crimper meets the standard for PEX to copper ring connections so you can trust the fit and compatibility.
• Combo 1/2 in and 3/4 in dies: Lets a single tool handle the two most common PEX copper ring sizes, reducing the need to swap tools on the job.
• Angled head design: Reaches into tight connections and behind fixtures more easily than straight crimpers, speeding installations in cramped spaces.
• Tool steel construction: Provides a durable build that stands up to repeated use and maintains jaw alignment for consistent crimps.
• GO NO GO gauge included: Allows quick verification of crimp accuracy in the field so you can catch under- or over-crimps before pressurizing the system.
• Polished jaws: Protect copper rings from marring while still delivering a secure, leak-resistant connection.

Who It's For

The iCrimp Angle Head is ideal for homeowners doing PEX repairs, handymen, and professional plumbers who often work in confined spaces such as under sinks, behind toilets, and within cabinets. Its combo dies make it a practical shop or truck tool for general PEX work where 1/2 in and 3/4 in fittings are common.

Those who need a full set of sizes beyond 1/2 in and 3/4 in, or who prefer a battery-powered hydraulic crimper for very high-volume commercial work, should look elsewhere. For typical residential and light commercial jobs, this hand crimper offers a good balance of reach, build quality, and simplicity.

Cons
