PEX Bands, Yeeks! Gonna be Oetiker or SharkBite for me if I have to get to those.
Do most of the Oetiker Crimp Pliers cut as well as crimp?
This automtive version looks like my Lisle tool. It doesn't cut an old clamp away. Only crimps the new one. Hard to see from a photo, but it has a little anvil above the pivot pin. That keeps the part you crimp, from folding into a peak instead of collapsing from the two sides.
I might cut the PEX band with a Dremel tool, then crimp Oetiker clamps with my Lisle.
