The crimper itself is really heavy, opperating it also takes a lot of strength which makes it really hard to use in thight spaces of above your head. When pipes are close to the wall, it is impossible to use the crimper unless you make a big hole in the wall, in order to put the crimper around the pipe. THIS IS NOT AN HYDROLIC PRESS, it is mechanical!
The crimper does the job, but not with ease. Also, the pipe shears that came with the crimper are blunt and mine didn't open. The pipe bending kit and calibrator are awesome! Really nice to have.
