Who wouldn't want to start the day with a roof rail airbag recall?

the crimps dont really matter there is one pex that uses a plastic stretch ring but i doubt you have it

I didn't take any pic's this time around.

My house is a mix, because we had two different plumbers here when the place was gutted for the remodel. 1st plumber that started, used the kind of connections with the stretch expansion rings, on the water lines, him & my ex got into a verbal altercation, she told him he was being a pussy, I was outside so I missed the whole thing, plumber came and found me and told me he won't work under such conditions where he's verbally assaulted. He packed his tools and never came back.

2nd plumber I hired did not use the stretch kind, he said he does not like them. He finished the job with crimp kind of fittings.

I need to fix two lines, and since the 2nd plumber has since passed away, I'm just going to do it myself.

So was wondering if I should buy the crimp or pinch clamps?

either works
price of the tool and crimps would be the deciding factor
i have the apollo crimp one but the other would be fine too and they seem like they would be easier to keep in place

That's part of it.
Time to go deploy these bishes..

A good family friend, Rick, who has been dealing with a failing liver since his late teens was in such bad shape yesterday they bumped him to "next donor available status" yesterday afternoon.
I just got word that they have a donor, and they will begin the 12 hour surgery this afternoon.
He lost his leg above the knee 2 years ago when a car hit him on his motorcycle and he has already beat colon cancer too, so he's a fighter.
Hopefully this all goes off without a hitch.

Put something on top of them and see how high it goes, preferably in the new car lot. Take a vid.

Plumbers on the commercial jobs use the expander a lot. Not seeing a lot of crimp PEX. But lots of guys now using Pro Press fittings for copper lines up to 3"

Sending good vibes for Rick. My Uncle received a heart transplant years ago. Added 10 good years to his life

For a contractor the pro press is good but for a diy on pex crimp is the cheapest option for tools

I can certainly fall backwards into the snow and wave my arms and legs and make a nice snow angel

It's getting back up and out of the snow that's the problem

Good morning Adam, howz you

Good morning Adam, howz you

I'm good thanks Michael. Mostly glad I didn't have to climb out a window to shovel a meter of snow off the front porch, just so I could open the front door to look at the meter plus deep snow wall around my porch I just created.

You?
