Thanks for sharing this video. It seems to be they updated the dice 2023. Mine are more hexagonal. It worked perfect, no leaks.

I've been looking into these types of hydraulic press tools. Mainly the one with the propress head just a different brand. I need it to crimp brass fitting. I hear these manual tools are not string enough to crimp brass. Have you had any experience with this?

I think they updated the blue press... its a smaller die but still rounded and has a super tight fit now. Working great for my for 50 crimps, no leaks...

Do u have a link to the one you’re talking about

I really wish I thought to look up this vid before I bought one of these amazin specials. I just got mine last week and luckily the first fitting I crimped was on a boiler safety valve that didn't need to hold any pressure but I immediately noticed the crimp isn't solid and allowed for a teeny bit of wiggling so I did the rest of the job the old fashioned way. I was thinking at first I could grind a smidge of the die out so it would crimp tighter but thats when I noticed the sh1tty angle on the die like you pointed out. I guess I'll try to find the older style and swap the dies and return it. It's almost kinda funny at this point when I buy something without researching it first only to then discover videos like this from years earlier warning me of the same issues Im having🤦‍♂️🤣

Yeah i ended up buying 3 or 4 different press tools .

Hey Mike, so how's this newer Slimmer tool worked, and how's the Frankenstein combination work out for you buddy? I had the original one too and now buying this newer slimmer model, cause I can't pressed the 3/4" Viega copper T fitting. Thanks.

I just purchased this, have t done any crimps. However, I do see I have the rounded die. What would you recommend to get the better die?

this is great information for techs or for do it yourselfers/ the problem is that all these junkie crimpers are cheap and not well made they have a cool look and look great in the package but thats it / GOOD LUCK

Would the ridgid head fit on the new style?

I was wondering the same except I was wondering if the Milwaukee M18 heads would fit. Looks to be nearly identical

Ik heb ook zo een tang van het rechtse model gekocht met V bekken voor Viega profipress koper . De helft van de koppelingen lekte . ik heb gereclameerd maar ze begrijpen het niet in China . Ik heb nu M bekken besteld voor Geberit en C staal en ga daar nu Viega profipress koper met persen . Deze bekken hebben een smallere persing hopelijk gaat het nu

What brand were these?

What do you mean by "rounded"?

Those dies are absolute trash tier compared to any of the legitimate powered ones on the market. There's a reason why the pros use the kit that costs around 2500 to 3K dollars. Seriously though, you will probably be able to get by with these for a DIY enthusiast that needs to do this every once in a while. If you're going full duty cycle and you even sniff these items, you're doing it wrong.
