Just caught the new M12 press tools available for purchase online for the first time
” The Milwaukee M12 Press Tool 2473-22 ($1799, Ohio Power Tool) and 2673-22 ($3099, Ohio Power Tool)”
They aren’t cheap……at all!

Aren’t they covered by a patent?
Yea, that’s why they aren’t cheap.
Right now if you buy one from OPT you get a free battery and Copper tubing cutter. Does little to ease the pain though. Man, $3 grand is a hard pill to swallow.
Even the manually operated ones are pretty pricey…
Even the Ridgid RP 210-B is $2000
Me thinks I will be carrying on using copper fittings 🙂
Yea, I’ll be using solder, flux paste, and a torch!
Any thoughts on those SharkBite fittings. I’m afraid to try them any place that may end up flooded, and most of what I work with could end up that way.
Makes me a little nervous too. Read a horror story online where a leak done some major damage. When they went to file a warranty claim the fitting company layed it all on the press tool manufacturer and the press tool manufacturer layed it on the fitting company. End result was neither one paid the claim.
Shark bite are the same as some fittings we have over here and they are great.
Just follow the manufacturers instructions to the letter and you will have no problems.
And never ever use on gas of any kind.
