Pex crimping tools

[mark18mwm]

I am hoping to get some advise on buying a Pex tubing crimping outfit. I need every thing, tools, clamps, etc, everything. I think mostly 3/4" but as long as I need everything I would just as well buy a "kit" of some kind to with various sizes get started. This doesn't have to be a commercial quality set, just want it for one project for now ( plumbing in a out door wood boiler) but would like to have the stuff around the garage so if I want to use it later for other projects I'll have it. I was looking on the net, but I think that confused more than I already am, I'm not sure what all I need to get started. Any advise folks?

I had been looking at PEX also and while learning and searching it turns out that there are 2 kinds of PEX connectors regular Pex and Pro-PEX. The later uses special fittings and it appears that you can use the fancy (although not necessary) Milwaukee power spreader to open up the tube and ring prior to install.

Let us know what you end up with I am very curious
