Previously only used cinch-type PEX tools. How does this style tool compare? Is it easier to fasten clamps? Does the tool itself last longer?

This tool is very rugged and stands up to repetitive use. It is very easy to use and crimps perfectly every time. I have never used cinch type tools because this tool has never let me down

This tool is super easy to use and efficient! And yes, it's durable, and with proper care will last quite some time.

I can't comment about how long the tool will last, but it appears it will last for many years. It is well constructed and works like a charm every time. Very simple to use. The only difficulty that may come up using the tool is that it does require a big enough space to open the tool all the way. I would estimate that to be about 18"

Outside tools are sticky at first but one handed. Inside tools are trickery but have a lip to pull them out. More stiff while new. Wveryday use helps break it in. Iv had one for about 15 years they are great. It had been replaced for free about 3 times even though it broke due to user abuse. Had to get a new one because I lost mine. I hope to have this for years. I use it everyday. I work construction. The tool is extremely handy. No other brand matches.

Russe, it is not strength is the issue, it is the fact that it is utter crap build quality. The center line of the tool was over 0.092" of center. As long as you dont need precision drilling it might hold up.

I've used it on a 4.6L and saved me time because a adjustable wrench will not grip it correctly without rounding out the corners. The tool is cheap and worth it. Took me less than minute to loosen and remove.

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

I am not sure about the one I have is new and I have not used it much. What I do not like is it is to heavy and short where the bit is. I am going to get one that bends and get an extension. I believe that sounds more like what you are looking for. I used one like that one time and loved it.

This is a clamp style. Other is a crimp style. Clamps can be popped loose. Crimp rings have to be cut off. I use ratchet with clamp style and love it

In my opinion the edjer 2 is better after u adjust the blades and has a more power. I just purchased another one this week. Great tool.

According to the website, its just different packaging. The tool is the same in either case, go with whichever is cheaper

I have not used jet clamps so I can't compare them. I do like the bessey they work well for clamping and spreading.

Im very happy with it. Im mostly using it in place of a joiners vise, and it accels. Though not apparent by its look, the clamping pressure is very responsive, and can be controlled easily. I think they even clamp in a raw egg on a promo video I saw. It can tilt a bit if you are torquing on it, like bending pipe, but that can be mitigated by putting your foot in the stirrup thing at the end of the front leg.

I have both. Both crimp very well. But if your looking for a crimper that can cut the ends of the wire off its perfect. Saves lots of time for me.

Downstream is accessible with a wrench but I've still used this tool on all four. Just so much easier and no slipping wrench and woundedd knuckles!

Today I checked at my local ACE Hardware store to compare them. They are not the same. Though similar these are in my opinion a much better quality tool than the one at Ace. The all metal pruner is super easy and efficient and comfortable to use. Well worth the price. Good Luck

I have had mine for about a year now and it is much more robust than other models. You cam use different shank sizes without changing out parts like other models since it has a standard chuck. It also doesn't bog down like other models. The handle doesnt get hot in your hand either and its mot as bulky as it looks Its quite comfortable. This is my third dremel brand rotery tool. The last two were high end dremels and this one is the best I have ever owned. I use mine for cutting/carving plastic, wood, metal and have used it on bone and it works great. I did replace the foot switch with a router speed control so i can swirch it on by hand a adjust the speed without getting a cramp in my leg. Hope this helps.

both style clamps hold the same, you can get into tighter places using this crimping tool and clamp rings. I am very happy with this tool. It is very well made, you can even adjust the jaws to take up for normal wear.

The cheepest is one but you need to support the two free ends of the box with wood underneath each end to the same hight of the clamp. Two clamps becomes easier with the same concept above but having four clamps is the ideal situation for every operation alike as you see the final situation of your box in all aspects before final fixing. By the way it is a very usefull tool, very accurate, strong, and easy to use.
