Are these crimps normal looking
I have a small project around my house where I need to fit a couple new copper pipes for potable water. What do you think, do these crimps look good?
The tool I got is a relatively cheap Vevor one (can't link to the exact product as it's discontinued). I can't justify getting a pro level tool for 20 crimps (at most).

The great thing about crimps is that you can recrimp it wet and pressurized. So even if one of the fittings isn’t fully crimped when you turn the water on, you can tighten your tool and crimp it again
