My son has been talking about this tool for a year now. Thanks for the video. I now see how beneficial it will be.

@zaida500 11 месяцев назад

While the description says "tool only" it does come with one each of a bi-metal ru-vid.comUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_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

@clutteredchicagogarage2720 Год назад

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.

@stoneyswolf 4 месяца назад

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.

@patrickcowan8701 Год назад

$1300 should be $350 $400. Soon somebody is going to make one that's affordable for the DIY guy.

Whats the best overall press tool for copper, steel, and pex?

@DragonBuilds 6 месяцев назад

If this tool could do 1" I would seriously consider buying one! Looks like I will keep soldering.

@Rider.WhiteHorse 5 месяцев назад

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.

@DragonBuilds 4 месяца назад

@@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.

@jandbplumbing Год назад

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

@michaelchapin5998 Год назад

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!

@shaundonovan2193 Год назад

Great review. If you had to buy one press for daily use to include pex and steel which press would you recommend? Thanks

@mechanical-hub Год назад

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.

@edwarda7832 Год назад

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.

@ontimerooterandplumbingguy1507 Год назад

It says on the box that it presses both copper and steel with the same jaw?

@mechanical-hub Год назад

Stainless, same as copper press. Not iron pipe.

Can i use a ridgid 26136 press ring actuator on my rp115

@mechanical-hub 20 дней назад

No, the RP115 is a very limited tool and currently only offers 1/2" & 3/4" pex press and copper press jaws. None of the jaws from the standard or other compact tools will fit it. It's a very limited tool.

@46GarageUSA Год назад

Is the Milwaukee M12 better than this 115 ??? Or can you do more with the M12 ?

@SlaviJordanov Год назад

The Milwaukee is much better. Up to 1.25” copper and 1” gas piping

@Lance90Michael 11 месяцев назад

Mine came in today. Tried to run a cycle and it crapped out. Leaked oil everywhere, and now wont complete a cycle.

@charliegodinez9655 Год назад

Does it take the compact mega press jaws

@mechanical-hub Год назад

No, only 1/2 & 3/4 copper.

@NileJ Год назад

If they make the close quarters jaws for it I would buy

@mechanical-hub Год назад

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.

@justCarner Год назад

Is it capable of using larger jaws? If not, that’s very expensive for 1/2 and 3/4.

@mechanical-hub Год назад

I covered that multiple times in the video. No

@justCarner Год назад

@@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.
