iCrimp PEX Clamp Tool PEX Fitting Kit - Complete PEX Crimping Set

Our review of the iCrimp PEX Clamp Tool PEX Fitting Kit finds it best suited for DIYers and tradespeople who work predominantly with 1/2 in PEX plumbing. The kit's single biggest advantage is convenience: a patented multifunctional CRP-1096 clamp tool that both cinches and removes PEX clamps quickly, paired with a cutter and a practical selection of fittings and stainless clamp rings so users can complete common repair and installation tasks without running back to the supply store.

Key Features

• Multifunction clamp tool: The patented CRP-1096 tool cinches and removes PEX clamps in seconds, speeding assembly and enabling reuse of PEX-B crimp fittings.
• Comprehensive kit contents: A 34-piece set combines the clamp tool, PEX tubing cutter, clamp rings and fittings so users have matching parts for typical jobs.
• Durable clamp rings: The 1/2 in PEX clamps (20 pack) are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and longer life in wet environments.
• Lead free brass fittings: The included 1/2 in brass PEX barb fittings are rated for potable water use and cover elbows, couplings and tees.
• Accurate tubing cutter: The PEX pipe cutter handles up to 1 in tubing with a double-ground V edge blade for clean, smooth cuts.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for homeowners who handle their own plumbing repairs, electricians or handymen who occasionally install or modify PEX runs, and small contractors who want a portable kit for common 1/2 in work. The tool that both crimps and removes rings makes on-site adjustments and rework faster than using separate specialty tools.

Those who only work with larger diameter PEX regularly, need a huge inventory of different fitting sizes, or require stainless steel fittings should look for a more specialized kit, since this set focuses on 1/2 in fittings and up to 1 in tubing cutting.
