Thanks Shaun, that’s one of my options. I will only be working on copper up to 28mm. The kit with 15, 22 & 28mm jaws seems. Good option. Do I buy new or used????Novopress aco103

Thanks Shaun, that’s good advice. I might hire one and buy some fittings and make a frame up as a test rig.I would go new
You can rent them cheap enough for the first couple to see if you like before you buy etc
Thanks for the advice. The types of repairs will mainly be domestic work. When I have seen press fit on exposed pipe work in buildings, always looks neat. Going off the replies, looks like I am going to have to invest in a tool and a set of the angled jaws.I will say straight away I don't personally do repair work (have others to do that) install only.
I haven't done any hot work in customers properly for over 4 years
Would agree angled jaws a necessity.
When you really get used to pressing it is fast especially when pipe sizes get bigger.
Press fit looks lovely in a well laid out plant room.
I've hired from My Store - http://www.mehireuk.com/ if that's any help.Thanks for the advice. The types of repairs will mainly be domestic work.
