Everyone does a review simply pressing fittings. Try it in a real application that's inconvenience and it's not that easy at all. For typical projects around the house Sharkbite is the way to go as far as I'm concerned. Essentially they both boil down to an O-ring. Properly prepared Sharkbite has never let me down and I've gotten them in places you'd never be able to use this tool in.

@@matthewcarlacci I know one $100 and hour plumber that used a couple on my sons sons house. As for the implication that plumbers stick to the tried and true that dog don't hunt. Sweating copper joints in some application a real art form. Now they break all use propress and that expensive tool that any schlub could operate, do the job in a fraction of the time and charge twice as much plus the drive out fee. When they aren't using that it's pex again with clamping systems that are user friendly. Plumbers have never made so much money and had so many ways to accomplish their job that are so easy.

How did you get the pressure regulator into the Trask billet holder?
@matthewcarlacciАй бұрын
A little plumbers grease and good hand strength. It is a tight squeeze but it will fit. I may have cheated a little with a vice or channel locks. Just be careful

The way I see you're struggling with the thing, it is a NO good one. $100.00 bucks? I rather spend few bucks more (less then $50.00 more) for the a lot better quality product.

Did you try to press 3/4” tee? It seems like it is not possible with the tool as even elbow is tricky

I believe it is advertised as not being able to do T’s . The elbows you can do but the tool does a great job of getting in the way

Thank you for this review. I was thinking about getting one of these and its people like you who take the time to share your experiences with the world that convince me to make this purchase. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this out there!

No problem. I really do think it’s good but not if you’re using it for your day job. I still can’t figure out why they get stuck in the chuck but hopefully you won’t have that bad of a problem. It’s kinda gotten better the more I used it

Personally I did not build this my friends did. There has been a upgrade to the axle sence this video. The old one bent. I believe the new one is out of a atv. From what I understand they fabricated bearings to hold a shaft to the swing arm and attached hubs to the axle that take honda civic rims. I'm sure they plan on building another at some point and I can do a better documentary on how they do it
