Yea I think you are right, it will be much cheaper using regular pex
fittings and buying the crimp tool and rings off amazon.

I would tend to believe it would be cost-prohibitive as well to use SharkBite
fittings. They seem to average about $10-$20/each, depending on the type of
fitting or valve. That could get real expensive, really quick. It’s got to be
cheaper and easier to just spec out what you need or buy a kit from the
companies that do this sort of thing.
Sometimes, even if it saves some money, DIY is not the way to go.

removing rings when you mess up or decide to change something.
I have not used them for air but I probably should install a line in my garage
too.
I have used PEX for changes to the water lines at my house and the cottage with
no issues so far.

Good luck with that - in my experience, shark bite fittings don't reliably hold
60psi water, much less 100+ psi of air though I've never tried it.

Instead of a kit I think I’m going to use pex and shark bit fittings along with
ball valves I already have. It appears this will be cheaper.
