I'm looking for a PEX Crimper.

But they are too expensive.

- Do you have one you wanna get rid of?

_ Do you know of a tool wholesaler I can buy it from for a reasonable price?

What size?

Have you looked at the pex pocket crimper?

Not sure what you need it for. If it's just a one time thing you may be able to rent one.

If it's for your job I'd probably break down and get the real thing.

Thanks. Do the pocket ones do as good/reliable a job as the expensive ones?

At first they do. They are fine if you just have a crimp or two but can become 'out of round' fairly quickly.

I might be able to help you out with a 1/2".

I don't know, but kind of doubt it. However, if jsp is recommending them, they just might.

Building a bath in my basement right now. But I figure if I own one I'd have the option of doing a lot of the plumbing for a house I'm hoping to build in a couple of years.

A couple years? Dude, you shouldn't even buy green bananas with that ticker you have.

Hey, the bathroom project is the warm up and a measuring stick as to how much of that kind of stuff I can do. So far it seems I'm fine. As for the house, I've drawn it up. I will be my own contractor, but I will hire subs for most of the heavy work. I'm planning to do most of the wiring and most of the plumbing by myself. I have to sell my own house in a couple of years. So my "dream house" is at least a couple of years away.

I bought both of mine on Ebay for 1/3 of the price.

Got tired of renting from THD and having to return it every time I needed it.

I've got a PEZ dispenser I can loan you. Will that work?
