It worked as advertised. I love that I can other dies to use on PEX rings. The only couple of downsides I run into where it's weight and the dies not fitting the Home Depot pro press fittings very well. It made using the tool a bit of a wrestling match requiring some extra hands. The weight is the weight, and I'll probably solve by having a longer hose made so I can put the pump on the ground. A pressure gauge would have been nice too for more consistent crimping. The issue with the fittings I suspect was more an issue with the fittings Home Depot sells, and not the tool. Fittings I picked up from a different source seemed to work much better. That said, it worked well in the long run, accomplished the job, and was much less hassle than trying to make the challenging solder situation work.
