Rems Push 115000 Pressure Testing Pump 60 bar - Push

This is the only one I have had which has lasted. I have been through 2 rothenberger ones and 3 of the ones Williams sell 2 or the cheap and one of the more expensive ones. They have all failed to do more than about 10-15 tests. Had this REMS one a couple of years now and it has been great
