M18 PEX Crimp Short Throw Press Tool

MILWAUKEE 2674-20 is the PEX crimper I am showing. I have another video on the Ryobi crimper and I wound up taking it back because it had some serious issues. This Milwaukee crimper is definitely better, though bulkiness is still an issue.

$785 incl 3 jaws, batteries and charger. If I did alot of new construction I'd have one of these in a heart beat.

With manual I squeeze the ring just a little with channel lock to keep it in place while I crimp

[flsabvb]

I was only trying to understand why the pex B tool is more expensive than the expandable Type A pex tool when the A is better imo, do you happen to have an answer

[davidw.]

Would be nice to show the go no go after the crimps.

I want to buy a press tool, but want to be able to press copper fittings as well as pex.
Do you know if you can press copper with this tool.

[shonuffisthemaster]

i mean i would definatky take this over struggling with a manual crimper, whats the alternitive?

[gregbehrens]

I use pump pliers to hold the ring by lightly pressing the ring prior to using the press tool

[vuminhthanh]

Can you tell me the force of this tool? Thankyou

Ryobi has a model like that for pex b copper rings but the reviews were horrible on the ryobi but ryobi has another model but for stainless steel clamps for pex b and that’s what I use now

[TOOL_TECHNICAL]

the question 4 years later is... does the tool still work? lol and also like the copper pro press does it need to be sent to milwaukee for calibration at certain intervals

[carlossosa]

Can this be used with pro press too or just pex? I’m looking yo get get me one

[joshallen]

Do they make bigger jaws for it? I bought one and it only came with 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”

Does this crimp work with the Home Depot Barb fittings. Apollo/sharkbite brand

[ThePioneerChannel]

I just want one cuz I got carpal tunnel from manual crimpers

[dumdiversaspapalbull]

I really think I can just hand crimp much faster than that, but I still want the tool.

[onebozou]

How would this work in a tight crawl space

[johnZoV]

Thanx man. Is this tool work with cooper jaws as for Milwaukee m12 press tool.?

[andrespates-bqcl]

They're heavy for beginners and people who don't know how to use channel locks to hold the crimp rings in place. I'd much rather use these overhead, running a new hotels water supply, than any vanguard manual or one hander crimpers

[richardscarlett]

I would use this in a heartbeat, if they only made them to work on stainless steel crimp rings (not talking about the cinch rings)

geez checked on amazon for this thing. They want 3.5k for it! Holy crap, I'm just redoing my house. Would be cheaper to hire a plumber + material and buy the guy lunch lol
