ill do another video using it so people can see how it works

Next replace the battery in the smoke detector

I have that tool same company a little different design but it works presses good no leaks! it mashes the copper a bit but you can get your pump pliers and round off the sharp edges good luck 👍

Great video !!

Been using it for about 6 months now, . Never had a problem,, most of the time I just use my torch, but when I'm rushing I use this tool ..

Can it crimp the TEEs?

they make this exact one except with the pro press style spring jaw....i have it and it works great ...easier to get into tight spaces..

I bought the one you have. Any issues with the 1/2? I did a couple test crimps and it doesnt seem to crimp on one of the sides. Do you have the same issue?

i have not used the 1/2 that much mostly 3/4 i did a lot of water heaters with it -- its hard to find the fittings so on a 1/2 repair ill use old school lol

@@sretniwe no problems at all...it can be tough to get it off once crimped and you release the jaws....just give it a wiggle and it back and forth an it will pop off...if your in a cold climate and it sits in your van make sure its at room temp ..the hydraulic fluid needs to be flow good..

There appears to be a variety of brands that are similar 🤔 having seen your review I might buy a zupper brand looks like longer handles for better leverage.

Thinking picking one up too, price is cheap compared to the big names. How are the crimping dies, good quailty?

It works good but I am still working on getting the Rigid tool only and then getting the 3/4 end its only 1100 lol . Thanks for the comment

Its a great grab for elite techs , most companies only have a few big pp guns and they usually are on install trucks + are so heavy a service guy wouldn't want it on his truck . These ones can do the job . 20 presses a week is a lot for service and the thing weighs like 4 lbs . Ideal really

no that is plumbing only AC is different type of fitting -- ac copper is soft there is quick connection fittings for AC but hard to find and i think you can get the fittings for AC that may work but then you need the tool (for) ac installation I hope that info helps you

Don't know why you would think that-- because propress is the bigger and better thing compared to everything else.
