(Pack of 50) EFIELD 1/2-inch Stainless Steel Pex Cinch Clamp Rings for Pex Tubing Pipes(1/2 inch-50pcs)

You can see in the picture four of the ones I am reviewing compared to a real pex clamp. These don't really have a place for the pex tool to bite into like the real ones. With two hands, I could push the opposite side of the clamp into the tool, but if quarters were tight, this might not have been possible. If you have tight work, consider getting the real deal.Once clamped, they hold water tight just fine.

Other brand's (the real?) rings are too loose on the pex pipe. I constantly have to make sure the ring is in correct position until the ring is crimped enough stay in place. When I'm working in a tight spot with not much room, it becomes tricky to ensure the ring does not move away from the original intended location.This ring is a little tighter so that it does not move freely. I find it really helpful in a tight spot, but in overall it is much easier to work with. I just finished a 50 count bag and never encountered a situation a ring is too tight where I could not put it on pipe.

I've been switching my homes to pex piping as they get redone. Much faster, freeze resistant, and easy to do. I have the crimpers for the copper rings and the stainless like these. I decided this type was what I wanted. One crimper does all the sizes so no need to switch tooling. They are removable with a screwdriver and pliers although it takes a little doing. Copper needs cut off and just isn't as simple. These have worked great and I will buy more.

These clamps work as they are supposed to. They cost about 70% less here than they would in a home improvement store. You may question whether or not you would ever use 100 clamps, but I am on my second 100 piece bag after having remodeled 3 houses and completed various plumbing jobs in my home.

Great clamps, I just ran all new plumbing in my 1700 sq ft house and did not have a single leak on any of the clamps. Just don’t clamp them on your finger, yeah it sounds like fun but it really really hurts!

Oetiker clamps like this are great for brewing hoses, particularly gas lines where regular hose clamps can apply uneven pressure around the hose & allow leaks.

Definitely a great buy and very sturdy. I clamped two on my PEX and had to remove them, what a pain! Works just as well as name brand.

Works. The more expensive Lowes brand has a lip on the clamp that makes it easier to grasp with the tool. But these are 1/2 the cost and do the job .
