I could go with a Watts cinch clamp tool, but I am concerned that next time I winterize or de-winterize, the joint will leak again, even with just a little bit of twisting when the valve is opened/closed.

I wish I could find that fitting, since Amazon sells the cutters and de-burring tool needed to do a Sharkbite fitting the right way.
