Product Q&A
4 QuestionsQ: Just wondering if the lower jaw on this is too large to fit inside a 3/8 fitting or if leaving 3/8 off the specs was an oversight.
Asked by Ratman 12 years ago

I've only used it on 1/2" tube. The jaw may be too small, but I don't have any fittings that size to try it on.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't an oversight. I have not tried but I don't believe it would. It also only works with brass fittings not plastic ones.
Would be rather tight. Bottom jaw measures 11/32" using caliper.
Q: Does this tool work with plastic PEX crimp fittings?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIt does, but it may not fit into certain 1/2" plastic fittings that have smaller diameters.
Q: Does this tool damage the fitting the PEX was cut from? Can the fitting be reused? I'm specifically asking about brass fittings.

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffFittings (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 by 16 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffFirst, 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.
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.
the bottom part slips inside the tubing, when squeazed the top cutter snips the ring
