Oha, that Must have been done by someone who is a diyer or doesn’t care at all. There is absolutely no pride behind the work.

Thanks for letting me know KOP. It’s surely better not to get involved,

Oha harvest it’s actually on old version of rems.. it still has a wire. I’d actually prefer cordless but as long as it works I won’t buy a new one. You can get already crimping machines for a decent money. Definitely worth the penny. I don’t solder no more I used to a little when I used to be an apprentice and when I got here in uk but have changed back to crimping.

Thanks scott, it’s nothing major but sometimes you cannot make gold out of a bad install. But I think the customer is happy that’s important.

I got my first one from my old company. Once I left the country I got my second one from my mate which is kind of second hand. But as mentioned still with a wire. I would most like get a cordless one if I was you. I’m super happy with it. It really speeds the works up, it’s no hazard to the property, you can cut live water pipes / put a valve on and crimp. Had to do this many times.

Hi guys just an update on my saturday's install.
Thank you first of all to all for giving always a great advise and help.

Would you recommend putting a plume on ?
