Excellent Milwaukee 2432-22 M12 12-Volt Propex Expansion Tool Kit Very Slick!By CharlesA friend (a plumbing inspector) borrowed this tool from a plumbing supply house to help me with an expansion of the WIRSBO(tm) PEX water supply system in my house. This tool makes expanding the PEX to slip over the connectors a breeze! I can only imagine how much better this is than the hand-operated tools. We did 22 connections in a little over an hour, and that included cutting existing lines to install tees. It's so easy: you just use the tool to expand the end of the pipe, slip it on the fitting, and give it 10 to 20 seconds to shrink. Not a single leak anywhere when we repressurized the system. I put pipe adapters on the ends of future expansion stubs so I could transition to copper, but now I'm going to use PEX. It's a whole lot easier than sweating copper or gluing plastic.
