A PEX crimping tool when I first bought it I was reluctant to spend $60 or $80 on this tool but it has been totally worth it. when it comes to connecting PEX pipe to sinks or anything I prefer using this because it is super fast and easy compared to PVC cheaper, faster, and easier than working with copper.
