iCrimp PCKIT-1234PS PEX Crimping Tool Kit - Compact PEX Plumbing Kit

In this review the iCrimp PCKIT-1234PS is presented as a compact, no-nonsense PEX plumbing kit well suited to homeowners, DIYers and trade professionals who need a reliable set of tools for PEX-B tubing with copper crimp rings. The bottom line: it is worth considering if you want a single kit that covers the two most common sizes, 1/2 in and 3/4 in, and stores neatly in a sturdy case. The review focuses on build quality, usability in tight spaces, and whether the kit truly contains everything needed to finish typical PEX runs.

Key Features

• Dual-size support: The kit works with both 1/2 in and 3/4 in PEX copper crimp rings so you can handle the most common residential plumbing connections without swapping tools.
• Ratcheting crimper: The crimper includes a ratcheting mechanism that delivers consistent pressure for secure crimp connections and helps prevent under-crimping.
• Integrated cutter and removal tool: A purpose-built PEX tubing cutter and a removal tool are included so you can prepare, cut and remove fittings without needing extra purchases.
• Durable carrying case: Tools are supplied in a strong compact case that keeps the kit organized and makes it easy to transport to a job site or store in a truck or closet.
• Compact form factor: The tool sizes and case are small enough to access tighter spaces, which helps when working behind cabinets and in crawl spaces.

Who It's For

The iCrimp PCKIT-1234PS is best for homeowners doing remodeling or repairs, independent plumbers who want a portable backup kit, and DIYers who prefer a single kit that covers 1/2 in and 3/4 in PEX work. Its combination of a crimper, cutter and removal tool makes it practical for most simple PEX-B installations.

This kit is not aimed at users who need specialty fittings beyond copper crimp rings, or contractors performing very high-volume commercial installs where a full set of interchangeable jaws or faster pneumatic tools would be more efficient. If you need tools for uncommon ring sizes or a heavy production environment, consider a professional-grade alternative.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-built tools with a reliable ratcheting crimper that create consistent crimps.
• Includes the cutter and removal tool so the kit covers the full PEX workflow for common sizes.
• Compact, durable case that keeps tools protected and easy to transport.
• Good value for money given the number of functions in one kit.

Cons

• Limited to PEX-B tubing and copper crimp rings in 1/2 in and 3/4 in sizes, so it is not a universal PEX solution.
• The kit is intended for routine residential use and may not replace higher-capacity professional crimping systems for heavy commercial work.
