You need this for your tubing: https://www.amazon.com/XSPC-PETG-Acrylic-Tubing-Chamfer/dp/B016B29RK4

if it's a rotary and difficult to turn, I'll unscrew it and turn it outside the build then reinstall. If you are having trouble screwing something in: https://www.amazon.com/PH-165-Non-marring-Plastic-Touch-Pliers/dp/B001V7DYSQ

However I do NOT recommend you use pliers to tighten fittings because you are likely to crack your block or whatever, I generally just use them to unscrew things if I'm having trouble.

If you are referring to tightening the compression collar down, they don't have to be that tight, because all you are doing is compressing a rubber o-ring to make good contact.

If you were pressing in tubing without chamfering it first you are very likely to have cut your o-rings inside your fittings, get a needle or something to dig out the old one and replace it. Once you poke an o-ring with a needle consider it worthless.

I used it for PETG and it worked perfectly. Nice clean cuts and it did not scratch the surrounding material. I can't tell you how well another cutter will work but the one I linked did me well.

For chamfering the outside of the tube, I used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016B29RK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can certainly pick up equivalent, if not identical tools from performance-pcs and elsewhere.

I did not have any burrs to remove as the cutter didn't create any, but you still need to round the outside edges before fully inserting them into your fittings.

I used the Bitspower 16mm PETG (http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-non-champher-crystal-link-16mm-od-tube-length-1000mm.html) and EK fittings for both of my systems. I can of course only vouch for my personal experiences.

I used a dremel, and to every one saying OH IT'LL MELT IT...Nah, it actually worked faster, better, and easier than a hacksaw. Dremel makes a "plastic" cutting blade that works wonders. If you just try to cut straight through, then yes, it will heat it up too fast. What I did was cut a section, pull away for 2-3 seconds, turn the tube a little and cut another section. 3-4 cuts and boom it's off. Takes less than 30 seconds. You will have to use a chamfer tool like this: https://www.amazon.com/XSPC-PETG-Acrylic-Tubing-Chamfer/dp/B016B29RK4 but again, that only takes another 20 seconds. Then using some 400 grit sandpaper to finish it off.

I used a dremel 3000 series, set it to power 8, and used this cutting wheel : https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-EZ476-2-Inch-Cut-Off-Plastic/dp/B000FBLRW4
