There are several different types of PEX and at least three types of crimp rings and tools.

If you are doing just a few fittings, use the "shark-bit" fittings available at Home Depot. All you need is a cutter and preferably a camphor tool. The fittings do not leak and can be removed with a small inexpensive plastic tool.
Should you have more questions send me a PM. :)
