HOW TO: Copper Press

Are you an apprentice? Visit The Milwaukee GRID™ - Apprentice Connection for more helpful videos and articles like this! www.mke.tl/GRID-YT
We’ve partnered with Milwaukee Tool’s GRID Apprentice Connection to bring you this step by step demo on how to properly press copper fittings using Milwaukee’s M18™ FORCE LOGIC ™ Press Tool.
Why Press? Press is a method of joining pipe that uses force to make a connection, eliminating the need to solder, groove, braze, thread or weld. Utilizing only three short steps, connections can be completed up to 50% faster than traditional methods and involve no open flame. Most importantly, press eliminates the need to drain and dry a system, enabling fast, professional repairs and increased productivity on service calls.

I am a Propane service guy, what do you recommend for cutting and flaring copper? Mostly 1/2 and 3/8. I want to upgrade, I have been doing it manually for years now

[@davidberry2576]

They have a drill bit that flares out copper pipes they have them at air conditioning supply shops I seen him for 1/2 and 3/8 way faster to use them using the old flaring tool

[@davidberry2576]

That Milwaukee press has broke down 9 times the ridged pro press has never failed on me I had it 7 years the Milwaukee I had it for 4 years now I have to take it in again for repairs

I just picked up the milwaukee m12 press kit and 1 1/4 jaw hope mine fairs better. Hopefully they worked out the bugs

[@LuisGonzalez-sv5kt]

Haven’t had any issues with my m12. I press, press with rings and MegapressG.

[@mattgrommesh4125]

I'm in a technical program in Fargo learning to become a plumber. I really like working these new tools. Haven't had the chance at a press tool yet, but this makes it look incredibly easy so long as you seat the fitting properly.
Thanks alot for sharing!

[@pokerstar81]

Any plumbing suppliers. I like the thin pencil style they have them with replacement tips but I've broke them.
