“I bought this tool because of good review; however after few uses I noticed it is way too hard to use for 1” clamp by hand. I can use my body or concrete floor to help squeeze the handle, but in some cases you just have to use both hands to squeeze the handles, but way too difficult. Too bad I can’t return it because it past my return windows fir few days. Look fir one-hand operate version from other brand to make your life easier.[update on 6-25-2021]After trying one two-hand tool from a different brand and one one-hand tool I feel like I need to update my previous comment to be fair. In comparison, this two-hand tool is slightly easier to use for the 1” clamp. The one-hand tool gives advantages to clamp by using one hand to squeeze and the other hand to hold the clamp in place, which is important in my opinion. However, due to shorter handle length, the one-hand tool is also difficult to work on the 1” clamp at the last few squeeze to get the job done. All tools seem to have limitations to work with the 1” clamp I my experience.”
“Worked well! Super easy to use.No leaks. The tool wont release until it’s properly crimped. Just make sure you double check the gap of the tool using the provided gauge prior to use.Closing the handle takes a bit of strength, but I think it’s very doable for lost people. After doing about ten of them in a row though, your arm/hands may be a bit tired.”
