Here's a look at both the Milwaukee M12 and RIDGID RP241 in-line compact press tools.
Just bought Ridgid RP241 for $2000. I work in residential plumbing and have to be very efficient. While I like soldering it takes up way too much time. By the time you prep the pipe/fittings, solder and cool off you’re looking at a lot of time. This is of course if everything goes smooth!!!
This is what I needed to read to make m decision. I’m tired of waiting so damn long for things to cool down and the prep time is killing me on jobs.
@@jak2828 I only solder if that is the only option I have. ProPress is the way to go. What kind of plumbing you do?
@@phoenixrises1982 lots of custom homes and light commercial (warehouses, tenant improvements). I have one contract with a chain of stores that I could make crazy profit margins on if I could cut down on rough in time. Usually soldering for 2 days for just the bathrooms and hwt.
@@jak2828 looks like you need a ProPress
just bought one myself. i also do residential plumbing. got tired of meters not shutting off all the way and my damn solder popping pinholes. takes so long to bleed the water out and dry everything up. so much wasted time spent dry fitting. then pulling apart to sand and flux, then put back together and solder. then clean up the mess from dropped flux and solder. emory cloth dust. yada yada.
Just got the 241 myself. Was told by a couple of people the Ridgid is much better made.
Love your content sir!
Can you specify what model ridgid pex jaws would work on the m12? And is this a proven thing or does it just work?
The Milwaukee M 12 Propress has work well for me.
Now that it's been a few yrs. What's your thoughts milwaukee 12v or stick to the ridgid
FYI. The Milwaukee does have a battery indicator built in the switch button. Full battery will be indicated by 4 green led lights.
What do you think gets into tighter spots? The rp 240 or the 241
Thank you for the information
Do you know if Milwaukee Short throw work with jaws for cooper tubes (from Milwaukee m12 press 4example)?
Hello
Is the jaws from Milwaukee compatible with rigid compact press tool?
Thank you
Both are actually made in same factory by novopress
I much rather a thumb button , as anyone knows the thumb has the most strength. But then again 🤔 to be able to switch the batteries from a drill or driver with Milwaukee is useful. But then again megapress copper press & PEX press with one tool 😯 that's impressive...
Would my Milwaukee jaws be interchangeable with the RP351 or RP350?
Where do you get the zoom lock heads for the milwaukee
Hi, thank you for information, could you tell me RIDGID jaws fit to milwaukee. Thank you
According to comments milwaukee m12 sounds like the best choice for being compact and a bit more efficient because wow the universal batteries
Does the Milwaukee m12 and ridgid rp241 use the same size heads can't seem to get Milwaukee heads in Ireland??
Yes, both are compact tools so the jaw/head dimensions are the interchangeable.
It looks like the batteries are the same. Can u confirm if they are or not
If you are able too do mega press with the m12 when the jaws come out and that's true then I have tons of Milwaukee stuff already so thanks for this review I only get one shot at getting one or the other and this is it since iam on a budget bluetooth is the only benefit I see really
3 years later - how has the tool worked out for you? Any pros/cons?
Good review. That trigger issue would annoy the hell out of me though. I had a Rothenberger that did the same. Accidentally hitting the button is one thing if it auto resets but if you also have to release it that's a pain. The Milwaukee is made for them in Germany by Novapress so all those talking about Milwaukee's QA, well it's a non issue. Novapress rebadged this unit with Milwaukee's batteries and charger as a blue Gerberit, red Acco 102, orange Kempress etc and as it's own brand. I can speak for the Novopress as I have the Kempress and Acco and neither have missed a beat. Deciding factor I guess is service and maintenance and location of the agent to do it.
If you have a bit of skill you can service the tool yourself because those press tools are hydraulic so the only thing that could go wrong with those press tools aside from the electronics are the hydraulic seals,but you'll never know that unless like me you bother to look into how things work.Bottle jacks used for cars can last practically forever as long as you change the seals and the hydraulic fluid when ever the bottle jack acts up.Oh but if you open up the press tool and change the seals you'll get the press tool up and working again but low and behold your warranty will be void because robber baron companies like milwaukee would rather you send the press tool out to them so that they can further kick you in the ass by charging you $250.00 to $500.00 plus the shipping and handling to service your press tool after they charged you such an insane price for the press tool in the first place.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any help you can give me
@Major Kai i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Major Kai it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Beckett Xander You are welcome :)
Looks to be unbiased. From this video, it seems that he says there isn't a huge difference between the small ones.
Excelente
did you had to sell your truck to buy all those tools?
Hello
Is the jaws from Milwaukee M12 compatible with rigid compact press tool?
Yes
Do you know if Milwaukee M18 Press 2773 will be able to do zoomlock fittings?
David Abraham right now the only jaws you can get fit the compact tools like the M12 or Ridgid 240/241
good review thx
What do you know about girth?
Just purchased the rp241 just need to wait for it to get delivered I use the Milwaukee one at work something as simple as a power button definitely helps with battery savings but I absolutely think pro press is just as good if not better than soldering
Nice!
I purchased the M12 Milwaukee, waiting for it to arrive, does anyone have a M18 short throw? and do the pex jaws from it fit and work in the M12 force logic tool?
They do not fit.
Of course the jaws will not fit,how else are they going to rip you off over and over again if they make standard press jaws to fit their press tools?
Because this video was made in 2017, they jaw sets were not readily available, NOW in 2020 the jaw sets are available for black pipe and ACR fittings
Kyle Stan is that for the Milwaukee also?
@@monsieurbojangles2336 Yes
Necesito mucho eltrabago estaba en cableado de calida donde esta la direcion gracias
5:33 Any updates yet whether black pipe jaws are approved for this machine? @makitacharles
I'm asking about the M12.
You can use the compact jaws for either the M12 or 241. 1/2" & 3/4" jaws are available now.
My boy did you just say girth?? 😭
Are the heads interchangeable? I want to use the ridgid 28043 tight space jaws on my m12 press tool
I was wondering the same thing.
Same
Both tools are made [as to or up to 2019] in the SAME factory by the same company.
These are great for new construction, but are also used in HVACR and industrial copper tubing [also steel in specific applications]....Also there was litigation when this video was made concerning the maker of one of the fittings suing RIDGID and supply houses for restraint of trade
Absolutely not true, two entirely different companies and factories. Lol.
@@mechanical-hub Techtronic Industries Company Limited makes both, and both tools as I said in 2019 had the same source for manufacturing and parts, which means same maker /factory, but NOT identical tools.
@@kylestan2250 no wonder why milwaukee has more problem than ridgid. so in 2005 techtronic industries Acquired MILWAUKEE, AEG brand license and DreBo brands and businesses for Power Tool and Accessories. i see no mention about techtronic acquired ridgid. Ridgid does have some tools make by techtronic that doesn't mean that product belong to techtronic. Those products still be under ridgid quality control. just as we can't say that Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., LTD make the iphone but apple make them.
@@mechanical-hub actually 100% true
@@justinj8149 This is not TTI Ridgid, but Emerson Ridgid. They're not related to AEG in any way, and only lease their brand name to TTI to make AEG/orange Ridgid for the US.
I have had 2 of the Ridgids fail in the last 2 months with less than 100 cycles on them. Not a great first experience with these. I would be careful recommending these. Online forums are saying the boards in those have a high failure rate and the lead time on repair is 3-6 months. 2 jobs in a row I have been left standing there looking like an idiot because this brand new tool is dead.
I need 1 tool to do both copper and gas. Is there one out there?
Both of these press copper and gas. Copper up to 1-1/4', Gas up to 1" (RIDGID) and 3/4" (Milwaukee). You have to have the proper jaw sets.
Which one does the confined press with separate press ring and pinch jaw?
Both. Ridgid makes the ring and jaw set. It fits both tools.
Ridgid all day any day. When it comes to plumbing there’s only
One manufacturer thats made for that RIDGID
milwaukee, ridgid, and ryobi are all made by the same folks
iliketakingshowers yup just like GM,Ford&Dodge
Dewaltpro picture i like ridgid for my wrenches, cutters, etc and milwaukee for power tools
Nah it both companies, Milwaukee has the battery PVC sheers and copper tubing cutters also their 10L pipe wrench is my favorite
Please, how can I get this kit?
What’s the rationale to buy the 12v Milwaukee vs the 18? The price is very different.
The 18V has more "black iron"//force capability than the 12V.
What's the cost approximately of the m12? Good vid.
1900
which is your favorite one to use everyday ?
I’d say the RP241. Wasn’t at first but I really like that tool and would buy one in a second
I’m a retiree responsible for three homes and help with 3 additional homes were my children live. I’m a serious DIY guy and use quality tools so I can pass them onto my three sons. Which pro press is right for me….
Does rigid Jaws fit the milwaukee
I have a geberit which is novapress and milwaukee are the same Jaws.
Are the heads interchangeable?
Exactly what I'm wondering. I wish he mentioned that in the review.
@0kMik this was years ago and I can help now.
There ate several charts you can reference to see which heads with with what tools. Start Googling press tool jaw matrix and you'll find several sources that choose what all works with what. In this instance, both of these tools with with the same press jaw design. Zoom lock also.
For reference, I bought the m12 version that stops at around 1 1/4 inch for RLS jaws and 7/8ths for plumbing and use Jaws from multiple manufacturers
Rigid doesn't stand behind there warranties. I have numerous lifetime warranty tools that just sit now.
The important thing, is you still have them.. for a lifetime
Can I get gas Milwaukee or ridgid fittings jaw for m12?
You can use the Ridgid compact mega press jaws 1/2 & 3/4 on the M12
Ridgid for gas right? I just want to make it sure.
Well you told us the ridiculous price of the rigid... was waiting for Milwaukee price.. but........... still waiting
Milwaukee M12is a few hundred less
2 things I don’t like about pro press 1 very expensive the tool and fitting. , and I know the price goes to the job and it is a time saver , the 2nd is can’t remove , once pressed has to cut out
You should buy me one ;)
Wait! These can use zoomlock jaws!?!
Exactly the question I was asking.
Jorge Hernandez - Yes
Great tools but they are so ridiculously expensive
While the press jaws may be interchangeable that does not apply to all the press jaws and what's worse is that you pay such insane prices for the press tool only to get kicked in the ass because the press jaws are just as insanely priced as the press tools themselves are.You must be making big time money because there is no way in hell that any person making minimum wage can ever hope to afford those press tools.To rigid's credit at least rigid gives a lifetime warranty where as milwaukee rips you off then tears you a whole new one when it comes time to have the press tool serviced.From what I understand milwaukee charges $250.00 to $500.00 plus ther cost of shipping the tool to them to service their press tools so in my opinion milwaukee can go eat shit.Read carefully and you will find that all of those press tools are made where?Why in China of course.
Both good tools but Ridgid is higher quality. Milwaukee quality control is poor. The big thing is the Milwaukee m12 batteries are universal with all the m12 tools they make.
The Milwaukee M12 and Ridgid Compact Jaws are fully compatible as well as the m18 and standard Ridgid Propress Jaws are fully compatible.
Correction- The Ridgid 100B was the first Compact press tool Ridgid made.
Ridgid is a better product period.
you know they say size doesnt matter its about love but we all know she lying
If your a fool and do not know how to use your tool, she will find a better mechanic, no matter what size tool he uses.
I’m new to plumbing an I just ordered one so I don’t have to solder
🤑🤑🤠👍👌
Smone at dewalt should be fired 3 years later they havnt came close to these
God 2 grand why so much
Is that all?Last time I checked those press tools for for $2,500.00 plus,fuck them.I bought a manual hydraulic press tool that uses standard press jaws and came with a set of seals for when the tools needs to be serviced and the tool only cost me $356.00,that's including the shipping and tax.
@@nelsonechevarria7009 where did you order the manual press tool at?
$2000.00 😫
stop throwing them around .please
Dont like the miliwakee chinese junk
Then what Chinese junk you like?
All tool companies have factories in China...""ALL TOOL COMPANIES"" you need to do your research. The phrase "made in the USA" is a joke. They can put one screw here in America and the rest in China and say " made in the USA "
Please Don't buy Milwaukee Tool, first of all, Milwaukee Tool is new for making power tools, and during Milwaukee Tool production process, 5% defects found out by workers, also defects failed to be screened a lot. Bad Tools include noise as gear, bearing aligned badly for these defects, sometimes press trigger no reactions at all, etc.
And after Milwaukee tools launched one year， Milwaukee Tool will definitely do so-called VE, value engineering ，actually cost-down, change Germany switch to HK switch even Chinese switch, change Japan chuck to Chinese chuck, etc. Milwaukee Tool have a team, 50 persons to do this VE. The quality would obviously become worse after the VE.
Lmao!!! I have been using milwaukee cordless power tools for a long time. My very first m18 drill is still going strong with original batteries. I'm a commercial electrician from New York, and I buy a hell of a lot of milwaukee power tools. Knock on wood, but I never had one break ir had to use warranty on any of my tools or batteries. Almost 15 years strong. Milwaukee is the best bub
