IBOSAD Manual PEX Pipe Expander Tool Kit with 1/2",3/4",1" Expansion Heads for Propex Expansion suit Propex Wirsbo Uponor Meets ASTM F1960 Standard PEX Coupling Fitting Radiant Heat

Works perfectly and makes the Uponor pex installation a breeze

Welp, poor steal from you-know-where and it broke after I completed only 7 connections. Got to looking at the broken part and it was poor steal with lots of pits and holes in it. Too much carbon and not enough Iron. I'm making a replacement part for it. Don't have time, but no one around has the tool I need to finish the project. If I order a different tool on Amazon, the material may still be crap. So I'm fixing this with real steel.

This may work alright for 1/2" pex but mine broke halfway through expanding the first fitting. Literally 3 pulls and the steel linkage arm broke.

Except for the 2 right handed gloves it came with this tool worked perfect. All my pex tubing was tight and without leaks 4 hours after letting everything settle. The color coded heads is a nice touch for quick visual when choosing the correct size. Job is done and satisfied.

Had a premature slab leak due to failed copper plumbing installed by drunk plumber. Pex to the rescue. Rather than jackhammer into the concrete foundation I found a way to reroute the failed line through the attic. Using pex and this tool the repair was easy. A power expander would be nice but I only needed it for a few connections as I minimized the number of fittings with long runs. I don't know if I could expand 1 inch size as 3/4 inch was difficult. Not the tool's fault but 3/4 inch pex is fairly stiff to expand. But leverage against the floor got it done. This tool is as good as the more expensive brands so lucky to find it.
