Thanks for sharing this video. It seems to be they updated the dice 2023. Mine are more hexagonal. It worked perfect, no leaks.

I think they updated the blue press... its a smaller die but still rounded and has a super tight fit now. Working great for my for 50 crimps, no leaks...

Would the ridgid head fit on the new style?

I just purchased this, have t done any crimps. However, I do see I have the rounded die. What would you recommend to get the better die?

this is great information for techs or for do it yourselfers/ the problem is that all these junkie crimpers are cheap and not well made they have a cool look and look great in the package but thats it / GOOD LUCK

Hey Mike, so how's this newer Slimmer tool worked, and how's the Frankenstein combination work out for you buddy? I had the original one too and now buying this newer slimmer model, cause I can't pressed the 3/4" Viega copper T fitting. Thanks.

Ik heb ook zo een tang van het rechtse model gekocht met V bekken voor Viega profipress koper . De helft van de koppelingen lekte . ik heb gereclameerd maar ze begrijpen het niet in China . Ik heb nu M bekken besteld voor Geberit en C staal en ga daar nu Viega profipress koper met persen . Deze bekken hebben een smallere persing hopelijk gaat het nu

I really wish I thought to look up this vid before I bought one of these amazin specials. I just got mine last week and luckily the first fitting I crimped was on a boiler safety valve that didn't need to hold any pressure but I immediately noticed the crimp isn't solid and allowed for a teeny bit of wiggling so I did the rest of the job the old fashioned way. I was thinking at first I could grind a smidge of the die out so it would crimp tighter but thats when I noticed the sh1tty angle on the die like you pointed out. I guess I'll try to find the older style and swap the dies and return it. It's almost kinda funny at this point when I buy something without researching it first only to then discover videos like this from years earlier warning me of the same issues Im having🤦‍♂️🤣

What do you mean by "rounded"?

Those dies are absolute trash tier compared to any of the legitimate powered ones on the market. There's a reason why the pros use the kit that costs around 2500 to 3K dollars. Seriously though, you will probably be able to get by with these for a DIY enthusiast that needs to do this every once in a while. If you're going full duty cycle and you even sniff these items, you're doing it wrong.
