Better than a torch.

The decrimp tool works well. You have to score the pipe, or heat it just a little to get it off after cutting the ring.

This product does exactly what it was designed to do, i.e. cut a PEX fitting. I don't think you can do PEX plumbing without it.

  • PEX Ring Cutter (1/2"-1" Copper Crimp Rings)

    Q:

    Does this tool damage the fitting the PEX was cut from? Can the fitting be reused? I'm specifically asking about brass fittings.

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      Fittings (including brass ones) will not be damaged and can be reused. The crimp rings are the only part that will become unusable.

    Q:

    how does this cut a ring off when its on a fitting?
    Asked on 9/5/2010 by Anonymous

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      First, you need to cut the fitting out of the PEX system to remove the ring, only then can the ring be cut. Please follow the directions below on how to use the tool: 1) Use the cutter tool to cut the PEX tubing and remove the fitting from your system. 2) Insert the cutter tool into the fitting and squeeze the handles together to cut the crimp ring band. 3) Use a flathead screwdriver to split the crimp ring. 4) Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the remaining piece off the fitting.

      the bottom part slips inside the tubing, when squeazed the top cutter snips the ring

      Answered on 12/30/2010 by Merlin from Hopkins SC 29061

    • A:

      I'll past along a little trick I figured out concerning the ring cutter that eliminates the screwdriver and needle nose pliers from the ring removal procedure.

      First cut the fitting out of the system as close to the end of the fitting as possible. Second insert the cutter and make a severing cut on the ring. Next, rotate the fitting on the cutter approximately 180 degrees and make another cut. This need not completely sever the ring a second time but it will open the ring enough for the ring to fall off. The last step is to use the cutter as an ‘expander tool’ on the PEX pipe itself by continuing to rotate the fitting and making ‘cuts’ that won’t actually cut through the polypropylene pipe but expands the ID enough after about four to six squeezes that it allows the PEX to literally fall off the fitting.

      This will save you the motion of picking up any additional tools, is actually quite easy and a real time saver if you have a number of fittings to recover.
