Sioux Chief PEX Crimp Ring Removal Tool, 1/2" - 1" Capacity

Sioux Chief PEX Crimp Ring Removal Tool, 1/2" - 1" Capacity

The Sioux Chief PEX Crimp Ring Removal Tool is a rough-in hand tool built for one job: cutting a copper crimp ring off PEX tubing so a bad or misaligned crimp connection can be redone. It is sized to handle PEX crimp connections from 1/2" to 1", which covers the trade sizes most plumbers run on residential and light-commercial rough-in and repair calls. Instead of cutting the tube back and re-stubbing the line, a tech can slip the tool onto the ring, cut it free, and re-crimp the fitting with the material already in place. It is the kind of tool that lives in the bag next to your crimp tool and go/no-go gauge, ready for the moment a crimp does not seat right. On a rough-in or a warranty callback, being able to remove a bad ring cleanly means the tubing itself stays usable, so the fix is a re-crimp instead of a re-run of the line. That keeps the job moving and keeps material cost off the repair.

Key Features

• Trade Size Capacity: Works across PEX crimp connections from 1/2" to 1", the range most rough-in plumbers need on a service truck.
• Crimp Ring Removal: Cuts through copper crimp rings on PEX tubing so a failed or misaligned crimp connection can be cut free and redone.
• Rework Without Waste: Lets a plumber correct a bad crimp on the spot instead of cutting back the PEX tubing and re-stubbing the line.
• Compact Hand Tool: Sized to carry alongside a PEX crimp tool and crimp gauge in a rough-in or service tool bag.
• Built for the Trade: A dedicated, purpose-built tool rather than a workaround with side cutters or pliers on a PEX crimp ring.
• Preserves Tubing Length: Removes the ring without requiring the PEX tubing to be cut back, so the existing run can be re-crimped in place.
