What pipe sizes does it crimp?

It ships with three VUS-type jaws for 1/2-in, 3/4-in and 1-in copper tube. Those are the only sizes the included dies cover.

How does it compare with a manual crimping tool?

The hydraulic mechanism applies pressure through a pump instead of raw hand force, which helps on the larger 1-in size. In return it is heavier and bulkier than a plain manual crimper.

The tool and three VUS-type dies for 1/2-in, 3/4-in and 1-in copper tube. No case or extra seals are listed.

Will the rotating head help behind a wall or under a sink?

The head turns 360 degrees, which is aimed at narrow spaces, complex angles and tee connections where a fixed head will not fit.

What warranty comes with it?

A 90-day limited warranty. That is short compared with what pro-grade crimping tools usually carry.

Does it work on PEX or other fitting types?

It is built for copper tube with VUS-type jaws. PEX and other crimp profiles need different dies and are not covered by the included set.

Our take on the SUGIFT Hydraulic Copper Pipe Crimping Tool with Three VUS Jaws

A hydraulic crimping tool for copper tube fittings, sold with three VUS-type jaws covering 1/2-in, 3/4-in and 1-in pipe. The hydraulic drive is meant to apply even pressure on each crimp, so you squeeze a handle rather than force a manual jaw closed. The 360-degree rotating head helps in tight corners, behind fixtures and at tee connections. It suits plumbers and serious DIYers doing repair and installation work; against manual crimpers it trades higher weight and a hydraulic pump for less hand effort on larger sizes.
