New Tool Review | Malco Redline 5-Blade HVAC Pipe Crimper

With our latest project we had the opportunity to do a little HVAC work. We rarely run ducting but decided to splurge on a specialty tool which crimps the end of HVAC pipes to fit them inside other pipes, fittings, and returns. This tool is a total time savers and worth having in your tool box. Enjoy our review of the Malco Redline 5-Blade Crimper!

Found a pair in my tool box and had no idea what they were or how they got there... but my God could I have used them when I repiped my woodstove at my cabin. Especially being 12 miles from the supplier!!!

You are welcome!

Bought the same crimps recently because I stressed out the old ones. I prefer the old style Malco's crimpers because of the smoother handle grips and the lock on the side. Trying to get used to the bulky hand grips and that fk'n wheel to unlock. Skip every 2nd or third crimp and it should still fit. Thxs for the vid.

Thanks!! The wheel lock is not my favorite for sure and I will have to try spreading out the crimps further next time!

I dont't know if it makes much difference but on the Malco packing for the crimper it shows the three fingers of the crimper going on the outside of the ductwork not the inside when you crimp it.

[@RaptorRenovation]

You can use them either way

Better to have it then not when doing certain jobs save you time and the headache
