My son has been talking about this tool for a year now. Thanks for the video. I now see how beneficial it will be.
While the description says "tool only" it does come with one each of a bi-metal ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI and HCS blade plus an adaptor plate for non-DeWalt blades. Wish I had known that before I bought the blade kit, but oh well. Since I already have a DeWalt drill, charger and batteries there was no need to buy more of those so this was a great deal.There is one other consideration. DeWalt does't sell the depth guide separately so you need to buy the three parts which make it up -- the N275350 block assy, the N275341 metal rod and the N278801 knob. Amazon does sell all three.
Great review! It was cool holding and giving input on this tool on the Ridgid Experience trip last year! Excited to see it hit the market!
I appreciate the video! Almost got the mini....im good. Ill wait to buy the regular compact lol
Great review!!
Great breakdown man!
Appreciate it!
If I had a big DIY job I'd buy one just to make my life easier then sell it I've done that with other tools in the past works out very well. In reality it will pay for itself compared to paying a professional and if you like having tools keeping it wouldn't be a bad idea either. I've done that also.
Nice tool. If I were a pro plumber who did a lot of renovation work in old homes where I sometimes had to work in tight spots, I might buy this compact propress tool in addition to having larger propress tools to just use it occasionally in very tight spots.
If this tool could do 1" I would seriously consider buying one! Looks like I will keep soldering.
I hear ya, but think of it's designed purpose, bearing in mind all of the existing models already available and in production. This is obviously designed for residential service and repair for small tight spaces within homes. You won't find much 1-inch copper in a residential home let alone in a confined space. If and when a job would demand this tool, 9 times out of 10 will be a 1/2 copper line serving a singular fixture.
@@Rider.WhiteHorse I agree, come to think of it the only time I deal with pipe above 3/4 in a residential setting is when working on the main line. I think the mini press tool could be handy, especially since it can also do PEX.
*I would crap my pants if I had a powered Pex crimp tool.*
Every year I am plagued by wanting one 😂
Just love watching the videos for them though 🙌🏽
$1300 should be $350 $400. Soon somebody is going to make one that's affordable for the DIY guy.
You keep waiting then
I hope so because I think the overpricing is all a scam.
I agree !!! So overpriced for a tool that performs a one function.
Greedy bastards trying to rip people off
@@anonymousviewer4750 takes no skill to do press this tool should be free
Definitely not the most economical one out there, I just bought a 18v Press Tool made by Nibco that does 1/2, 3/4, and 1inch copper, and paid $800 for it at my local supply house. Now it doesn't carry the Big Name like Rigid, but a plumber friend of mine has been using his daily for two years and it seems to be holding up fine! This might be a better option for a home owner, or contractor that only does a little copper work!
It would be nice to compare it to the 12 V Milwaukee pro press /instead of RIDGID making the smaller pro press they should’ve just left the jaws out for the 1 inch an inch 11/4” just a thought
Are these available in the UK? Thanks
Impressive
This might be my calling to purchase a propress tool.
Whats the best overall press tool for copper, steel, and pex?
You are going to put it in a packout anyway ;) I will either get this or the RP241 for the megapress option
Haha probably
Rp241 with a set of angle jaws. This is not worth it at all. You're stuck with only 1/2 and 3/4 as well. Not really sure why they made this. Even with just 1/2 and 3/4, I'd grab one if it was significantly smaller. Its like an inch shorter smh... The rp241 is a 1 handed tool easily. Gets in everywhere I need it to. Been going since 2018 too. Angle jaws are what really help out.
Just wondering if the small press gun press steel?
Great review. If you had to buy one press for daily use to include pex and steel which press would you recommend? Thanks
For nearly all residential and light commercial work and service the compact tools like the RP241 or M12 are great. They'll both press up to 1-1/4" copper, PEX and 1" iron pipe. I have both of those and use them daily for plumbing and heating work.
@@mechanical-hub Exactly what I was seeking. Thank You
@@HandymanHustle I was using my M12 on 1” gas today
They now offer a 1" IPS jaw for the compact tools, both RIDGID and Milwaukee have them. Interchangeable (technically).
@@HandymanHustle resi
Do you think they will make the jaws for referiration line sets?
Nope, they have them for the 241 and other compact tools already
the new 1 is nice my freind works 4 culligan water they just got 50 ro115 for watr soaftnr tools lloks goo good price
Is the Milwaukee M12 better than this 115 ???
Or can you do more with the M12 ?
The Milwaukee is much better. Up to 1.25” copper and 1” gas piping
Do you think that the rp115 would be something that a home owner should by to maintain the plumbing around the house
I think the professional plumber would be the right choice for the home owners plumbing maintenance 👍
one year after, is there a jaw available now for pureflow connectors? thanks
yes
It says on the box that it presses both copper and steel with the same jaw?
Stainless, same as copper press. Not iron pipe.
Mine came in today. Tried to run a cycle and it crapped out. Leaked oil everywhere, and now wont complete a cycle.
Does it take the compact mega press jaws
No, only 1/2 & 3/4 copper.
Is it capable of using larger jaws? If not, that’s very expensive for 1/2 and 3/4.
I covered that multiple times in the video. No
@@mechanical-hub my bad, I can’t stand when people do what I just did. Haha. Thanks for all the great content in mechanical piping specifically. Love how you cover hydronics in much detail, you’d be surprised how many plumbers just can’t quite grasp it, besides hooking up valve packs to VAV boxes.
@@justCarner No worries. Thanks!
If they make the close quarters jaws for it I would buy
Its not going to happen, according to RIDGID this is an entry tool, lower cost to bring more people onto the press platform. If you want more than 1/2" & 3/4" copper or pex then you need to look at the other compact or standard size tools, not this one.
What other jaw sizes are available? I'm a hvac tech
Information covered in the video multiple times. It's apparent you either didn't watch, didn't listen, or just plain dumb.
Funny considering the M12 press tool smaller 😂
Milwaukee m12 all day
I guess this is a great version for non plumbers.
Its main purpose is to lower the first cost barrier to press. Plumber or not I suppose.
Theres always that one guy in the comments. That want to keep using rocks to spark a fire versus a lighter. 😂
😅😅😅
Sounds to slow
rp 241 is way better,and I only paid $1400
Where at?
Where did you buy it
For 1400
Can't believe you didn't even show one example of the device in action. Oh well...
