Stove Pipe Crimper

This crimper was designed to be a lightweight and simple tool for a specific purpose. I use them for gutter downspouts and elbow fittings, but when the material is fully inserted in the jaws, it leaves an annoying burr on the edge of the metal. Grinding the blade completely removed this defect, and it has worked perfectly since. The distressing thing is that I had to finish what the manufacturer did not. Perhaps this was a factory mistake, and perhaps not, I am not certain. What I do know is that I will order these again and modify the same way if necessary because simpler is better and the alternatives suck.

These are the most cheaply made, flimsy piles of crap I've ever seen. They literally look like they were welded together using mismatched parts they had laying around. I've bought this style of crimps before and they were fantastic. But what I got from this supplier was a look alike total garbage. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Good price. Performs well. Probably a little slower than the 5 tooth crimpers, but this was rated for a heavier guage steel. I used it with leather gloves and it didn't even hurt my hands.

Bought these crimpers for my dad. He being an old new englander was grumbling to me about how he needed to find a way to install his new wood stove in the basement but couldn't find a pipe with two male ends. Amazon to the rescue! These crimpers stopped his grumbling and even earned a positive review from my grumpy old man.

It was a waste of money.

I needed a stove pipe connector to install a wood stove to the chimney. Since it required a pipe crimped on both ends and the length I needed was not available, with this tool I made one for an exact fit.

Good item, fast delivery!****

Complete piece of junk, do not waste your money.
