Likely a stupid question

Get the grinder on it to remove the lip will let you go deeper

yes should be as copper varies dia and wall thickness

Cheers mate it just felt like I wasn’t able to insert the male pipe far enough. Perhaps only 4-5mm going in

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I see so it’s not fully going in try heating up the copper first or you do need some pressure forcing down into the pipe

Goes all the way in to the stopper but doesn’t seem to make a full socket. Was wondering if 7/8 was big enough

They look awesome. How much are they. Sorry if it has been posted already. How thin does it make the copper after use?

 

[Riley]

I’m dead impressed. So quick. Just having my 22mm issue like I say

I opened a thread on this a while back, they were quite expensive at the time I think around £30 a piece.

 

[Riley]

Maybe I need to buy a better one. Mine weren’t expensive

Do you recall the brand mate. Sorry to tread on toes

 

[gmartine]

Not at all. Actually cost more - 22mm is over £40, links are at the end of this thread.

Swaging spin tool.

Never really bothered too much with my manual swager but quite like this quick and tidy result, available in new year apparently. Nicked off Pb Plumber's instagram account, hate that guy....guns too big and van far too tidy, clearly plenty of time on his hands :)

I’m still hoping someone will design something that you can cut the pipe out of a fitting like the yanks do eg socket saver

 

[Riley]

Just took the plunge. Bought a better 22mm. I like this tool

I'm curious as to why the imperial 7/8 was so Rubbish, I might get a crap set and have a play. I like using my monument former when I get a chance but obviously you've got to form it while it's being hand held rather than already half clipped to the wall.

Well let me know how you get on I got mine on flea bay just to try them so I’m not too bothered as they were a cheap way to test the process
