Press tool recommendations

[jonny5isalive]

Hi. Anyone who uses pressfit tools for any recommendations? There seems to be a fair amount of choice so I was wondering how people found then in practice.
Battery/ corded
Ease of getting them into confined spaces.
Ease of use etc.

I've got Milwaukee m12 and m28 battery stuff if there's any that are compatible.

Sounds like gerberit are willing to supply a tool if you spend enough on fittings. Some people were talking of £ 500. Spoke to the rep and he was talking 10 grand.......

Thanks Jon

I got one off ebay with 15,22,28,35 heads for £500 mate
10K is if you want a brand new gun with brand new heads all the way up to 108mm with pretty boxes...

Might try and blag another myself from the rep 😀

A novopress? How is access? Can you get right angled adapters?

In answer to your questions:
1. go battery
2. you have to put some extra though into it sometimes but usually fine
3. if you get a depth tool you put the pipe in that, mark it, put it in the fitting and press....

Mine was hardline. Seemed vaguely interested when i said i needed it for commercial. Going to try again today. Could really use it in a loft.

You use it for specific jobs or everything?

Looks a great deal from the prices at the moment. Fair play. They take Milwaukee 18v from the looks of it?

Going to get an Aco 102 as its so much lighter and I've already got Milwaukee 12v stuff unless there's any reason to get the 202 other than larger size of fittings?

The 102 I think will only do upto 28 I think might be only 22 if that's ok for what you will use it for go ahead there great

Goes up to 35 and is much smaller and lighter. Will hire/buy a 202 for anything bigger.
