iCrimp Copper and Pex Press Tool Review
A non-biased, non sponsored and honest review of my experience with the iCrimp press tool.
From their website;
The iCrimp CPT8000 was designed for trade / owner use with a variety of pex, stainless and copper press fit pressing systems. The unique interchangeable die system means the one tool is capable of installing a range of piping and systems. No more carrying one tool for every system and size. The worlds first copper and pex interchangeable manual plumbing press tool - CPT8000

    Really appreciate your no bs review of the press in action. I too am a renovator and find it difficult to justify the huge expense of a power press given the volume of use it would get.

    Thank you sir. I saw this on Amazon and wondered about it. Like you if I did this for a living I would invest in battery powered tool. But this makes more sense. Right now I solder or switch to cpvc. I helped my son-in-law (really did it all myself) and did it all in cpvc.

    Great video mate. I wondered how they worked. I mean yeah works ok I guess but I’d rather solder. Doesn’t take that long to solder providing you got the heat. Map gas can be ok rather use oxy & propane ya laughing. I’d rather not risk it but I’d use it to run like an air line say in ya shed so ya not pulling ya compressor out. So then just plug your air hose for like pumping tyers ect into the wall connection. I wouldn’t care if it leaked a bit.

I'D LIKETO INSPECT A SECTION IF 3/4" COPPER GOING TO AN OUTSIDE HOSE BIB, THAT SEEMS TO BE SUFFERING WITH CONSTRICTED FLOW... IF I GET TIS TOOL, I CAN EASILY DO THE REPAIR, WITHOUT THE TROUBLE OF SOLDERING ON PIPES FULL OF WATER, AND, SUCH....

  • @MrDmadness
    @MrDmadness 3 года назад

    This is more expensive and takes longer than soldering. If you want to press buy the proper tool and it's fast and awesome, I used this tool on 1 joint.. nope.

    • @StilettoSniper
      @StilettoSniper 2 года назад

      After trying the same tool, I agree 100%. I could only use it in a couple of situations where there was a lot of clearance. If you really must use Propress, rent (or buy if you can afford it) the proper tool. Or just solder the damn thing in the first place, it is not THAT hard.

  • @njmikeche5575
    @njmikeche5575 3 года назад

    I wish we really knew the long term durability of all the new plumbing connection methods - propress, shark bite type fittings, and the different types of pex (crimp ring and that sort of expanding sleeve thing...). There are 100+ year old soldered copper pipe installations all over the place that are not leaking yet... The problem with soldering for DIYers is that it requires some skill that is really hard to develop if you don't do it very often. Nevertheless I think I'll stick with a torch for now.

    • @StilettoSniper
      @StilettoSniper 2 года назад

      Yeah, I am comfortable with soldering as well when it is possible. But I have to say, for repairs on a wet system, Propress really shines.

    • @russelmuldowney8736

      @@StilettoSniperthis is the truth. Last week I was in someone's bathroom. Torch in one hand, air compressor in the other. I don't think it looked tooo good from the homeowners perspective. I like to just keep repeating "we'll get it" every time they poke their head in to the bathroom.

  • @rogerhupp3115
    @rogerhupp3115 3 года назад

    This is perfect for a home DIYer. If you’re a professional plumber, break down and buy the Milwaukee M12. Very quick, clean and can get into tight spots. 2k seems like a lot upfront, but over time, you’ll realize it’s one the best purchases you’ve ever made. Your #1 cost is labor and the faster you get in and out of there , the quicker you can get on to the next job. Edit: I guess it depends in the size of the jobs as well. Onesie-twosie jobs, the manual tool all the way. If you have a ton of connections, electric for sure. Unless you really want that butterfly workout while you’re at work. The last upside to this tool is, once the customers see you pull this tool out, you may not know jack s#!t, but you’re a 100% bonafide professional in their eyes. 😆 Very good review, BTW!

    • @StilettoSniper
      @StilettoSniper 2 года назад

      So I am a home DIYer and I can tell you this tool is not worth it from first hand experience. First off, it is extremely unwieldy, and unless you are working in pretty wide open spaces with both feet on the floor, you simply can't use it. Not just the huge head size, but also the room it takes to operate the tool. In half the cases where I needed to use this tool, I id not have enough clearance to be able to close the jaws around the fitting. Secondly, the quality of the dies is substandard IMHO, it really butchers up the fittings, you can see what I mean in this video. And finally, the physical effort is a BITCH with 3/4" copper and up. You will need to extend the full length of the handles to crimp those sizes. Try it when you are standing on a ladder working on overhead connections! In all honesty, I would much rather solder the fittings rather than struggle with this contraption. Bottom line if you are a serious DIYer and need to perform work where you cannot simply solder the fitting directly, do yourself a HUGE favor and rent a real tool, like the Milwaukee M12 or the Ridgid 241, that is compact and is designed to get into tight places and crimp the fittings properly. You will be so, so glad you did instead of wrestling with this manual tool. I rented the Ridgid several times that I liked it so much I purchased the tool for my home and my rental properties. Hope this helps someone considering the iCrimp, mine was returned to Amazon.

    • @StilettoSniper
      @StilettoSniper 2 года назад

      Shop around, wait for a sale. I got one earlier this year for under $1500. Or buy one used, but be very careful it hasn't been damaged or is worn out and needs maintenance.

  • @toddkrump4520
    @toddkrump4520 3 года назад

    My concern would be in a tight spot like that the pipe would slip out of the fitting, you can’t hold in place because your using both hands to crimp. But yes you get what you pay for. Thanks for sharing
