With the quantity of plumbing you are likely to be doing over the next
few years in the projects you have planned, you may want to consider
investing in the special tools used for putting connectors on pex
pipe. With the price of copper these days it's wise to look at the pex
option. Some of the special expanders and crimpers can be a little
pricey, but they pay for themselves very quickly. It is worth spending
money on quality tools and not trying to cut corners in this instance.
Nothing is more maddening than trying to put a connector on some pipe
with a less than ideal tool. You'll hate yourself for not spending the
extra $50 for a really nice tool if you get a cheapie. The quality
tool will save you hours and hours of frustration and other expenses.
This won't completely replace the need for solder or sweating certain
joints.
