just plain doesn't do what it was designed for

Difficult to use, particularly in confined places. Can get a good joint, but takes time, great care and a very large amount of pressure. Would have bought proper Sharkbrite product, but not available in-store. Jaws not being fixed together is a real...

I purchased this tool yesterday to complete some plumbing. No matter how much force is applied the rings won't pass the go no go test, and I used a bench vice to try and get them tight enough. I returned it and bought the sharkbite 1\2 3\4 crimp tool....
