Ridgid jaws on Milwaukee M12 press tool

I get asked about this a lot, the compact tools like the M12 and RP240/241 use the same size/configuration jaws and technically can be used on either tool.

Omg thank you! There is such a lack of knowledge on the internet for this stuff!

[Christianlopez]

This is literally what I was looking for. Good to know

Thanks for tacking the time to make this video, it answers a few questions for me

Listen...I dont know why there is snarky hate for pressing on here. I've worked for a commercial plumbing company for 7 years and press is all we use on water and gas. There is an occasional leak, just like with any application. Every commercial plumbing company I know is the same. Its not about not knowing how to solder, its simple a faster way. Even when you calculate the cost of the fittings, you save money from labor. Plumbers are paid alot, and saving the time, not having to get a hot work permit and yes, it is easier...it's a win. We only solder when absolutely necessary now. Work smarter, not harder, can you imagine what that wall might look like if you had to solder that joint 😂. Oh let me guess, you would use cool gel, a fire barrier and you would still have room right!? Come on guys. This has been around for YEARS! Its proven.

Basically made by the same tool company I do believe

Man I feel bad for the next guy 😢 I always solder on the stub out pieces like this for the next guy to have an easy repair being able to unsweat and rebuild, it’s good to know I do that for nothing.

From what ive seen if you match the kN rating the jaws are interchangeable between thw big brands at least.

[jackbenner]

Propress is definitely nicer than soldering but man a soldered joint is a hell of a lot cheaper than a propress + a separate kit

[nickkirschner]

Well now I’ve seen everything lol, that’s awesome

[HyperionBadger]

What am I looking at? Is that connection actually water tight?

[zanderotn]

Why don’t you press a coupling and extend that pipe for the next guy? How’s the next guy supposed to service that without cutting drywall?

[noahholt]

How close can you get to the wall with the standard jaw . Have to replace a shutoff and customer refuses to let us cut drywall

[gyver]

Cool I was wondering if they were interchangeable.

[GamerNationTecno]

Are there any kits that would work on Hydraulic lines?

[nelsonjames]

why could you not have attached at the top without the ring kit?

[proverbslife]

Ok, but does the milwaukee m12 battery fir the rigid one? Or vice-versa

[brandonbearden]

Does anyone know if the V1 will fit the m18?

[TheDophler]

Hi will these jaws fit m profile fittings?

[Aussie.Globetrotter]

Do these jaws and ring kit work on m18 press tool?
