A More Intelligent Milwaukee Press Tool

A More Intelligent Milwaukee Press Tool

Rob February 25, 2021 Leave a Comment

Using copper piping for plumbing has been a mainstay since at least the 1940s. A marked improvement from old plumbing systems which may have contained lead components, copper is safe and durable. It’s also kind of a pain in the you-know-what. I mean that on multiple different levels: it’s time-consuming to install and it’s expensive compared to iron or PEX or CPVC.

That’s been changing though, with more plumbers opting to press fittings together with specialized tools. The new Milwaukee Press Tool, #2922-22, is the latest generation of these modern workhorses.

After helping out on a couple of recent jobs where all the plumbing was done with PEX, I was impressed with how easy it is to maneuver into awkward spaces, and how quickly the installations went. With the recent arrival of the Ryobi PEX Pinch Clamp Tool to make the clamping connections, I may be listing my MAP gas torch on eBay. Read More
