PEX connections come in crimp and clamp styles, and each needs its own tool. Here is the Lompoc guide.
The crimp
A copper ring is squeezed with a crimp tool and checked with a go/no-go gauge.
The clamp
A stainless band is cinched with a clamp tool and works in tighter spots.
The check
A properly seated ring at the right distance from the fitting is what prevents leaks.
