I just redid my kitchen as well so I bought one of these and one of these to clean up the ends, to make sure I got a clean cut every time. If you think you might do more pex work in future, probably worth dropping $20 to get them.
But if this is a one time thing, pex is pretty soft - you could use a hacksaw, or even a utility knife, and just clean up the cut with the knife afterward. Key is to make sure your cut is perpendicular to the pipe, and that there are NO stray bits of plastic around the rim at the cut end Put a little bevel on the end with a knife for best results. And make a little mark 1" from the end of the pipe, so you can make sure it is inserted all the way into the fitting.
Fyi. Just did this project. I used
