First off I'm a professional plumber for over 27 years specializing in service work. People ask all the time "Are bands or rings better?"well the short answer is rings are more versatile and stronger. You can not use bands when doing Qest repairs. And bands can break. But they are generally easier to set and more convenient for tight areas. If I was forced to pick just one method for Pex it would be rings. And this all in one tool from Sharkbite (Cash/Acme) is the tool I would choose to use. I have a full set of Sioux crimpers (COST $1300.00 back then) that I got many years ago when Pex first started being used in the U.S. and they have served me well over these many years. But they are quite worn,big and bulky so I decided to update and replace them. This Sharkbite tool has truly impressed me! With the 4 size capabilities, lite weight design and compact carry case it is godsend. And to top it off, its made in America (Yes some of us still care about that). For the money you really can't go wrong. Being able to quickly change out the dies without tools is wonderful and can be done in literally seconds. And if you need a tool for bands I recommend the 3 handle Sharkbite tool. You can get both systems for less than $200 total retail. And even less if you buy online. Whether you are a professional, a handy person or just a homeowner that has pex in the house and wants to be prepared for an emergency, this IS the way to go!Read full review

As a set the range of working sizes from 3/8" to 1" are always at hand. As the handles click over-center you know the band is set right. I plumbed my shops compressed air in PEX and moving on to remodel home plumbing now. None of the PEX plumbing leaks ever. Happy with the system.

I used a couple other over the years and still this crimping tool seems to be the most consistent. Great tool for what would be an otherwise complicated job.
