Customer Reviews for Apollo PEX-B Pinch Clamp Removal Tool

I was eerie about buying based off reviews. Bought it in case I had any trouble removing the clamps and was glad I bought it. Worked great, pricey, but beats not having it for sure.

Functions as it should. Makes Pex Pinch Clamp removal an easy affair. Happy i made this purchase.

Handy tool, works well. Only shortcoming is no provision for retaining spare removal socket, missing before I had a chance to find a secure place for it.

Tha handle was unnecessary; you should sell only the end piece which can be used with a 3/8s drive ratchet

While the tool id useful in releasing the clamps, it would be more effective if the tool could be locked around the entire fitting so that all movement of the hand would be directed directly to the clamp/

It was a piece of junk, I returned it. Instead of removing the clamp it mutilated the hose. It is much easier to use a Dremel to cut it off.

very disappointing. i'm probably going to return it. The Apollo pex wrench wont make the proper sized rings, if you have to remove them.

Works perfect for commercial soda hose application!

DO NOT USE if you have flexible hoses/piping. The twisting motion needed when using this tool can damage hoses and nearby connections due to the amount of force needed to twist and break these pinch clamps

Does not cut the ring. A pair of channels locks would do the same

Very easy to use if there is enough open space around the pinch clamp.

Worked well after some trial and error

Can't Give much of a review, I have not used this tool yet. However, the instructions are easily understood and the tool is well made

Worked as it was supposed to just used 2 times .

This tool is GREAT. Just slip it over the pinch and flex the pinch 2 or 3 times, it breaks the pinch ring easily, works on all types of pinch rings.

Probable user error, but the tool did not always break the clamp free and several times required more than one turn.

It's difficult to use in tight spots and puts a great deal of stress on the plumbing fittings. It does work fairly well, but it requires some strength and pipe stress to work.

works well when pex is held in something, like a vise, but not when it is in a not secured position. pex bends before clamp is removed.
