“A practical, budget-friendly crimper for DIY and light-duty plumbing work that prioritizes accuracy and versatility over speed.”
Our Review
The Delgada combo crimper handles both 1/2" and 3/4" copper ring PEX fittings with solid precision. The dual-size capability eliminates buying separate tools, and the built-in go/no-go gauge ensures ASTM F1807 compliance on every crimp—critical for code-passing inspections. Ergonomics are reasonable with a cushioned grip that doesn't fatigue during extended runs, though the manual lever requires consistent hand strength. The tool feels adequately constructed with hardened steel jaws, and crimps are consistently tight across multiple tests. At this price point, it's a smart investment for homeowners tackling renovations or small plumbing shops avoiding expensive ratchet crimpers.
What We Like
- Integrated go/no-go gauge eliminates guesswork and ensures ASTM F1807 compliance
- Combo design handles both 1/2" and 3/4" fittings—no need for separate tools
- Hardened steel jaws deliver reliable, repeatable crimps without slipping
Watch Out For
- Manual lever operation becomes tiring on large jobs; lacks assisted ratchet mechanism

The Verdict
“A practical, budget-friendly crimper for DIY and light-duty plumbing work that prioritizes accuracy and versatility over speed.”
