I came up with 1 that's shaped like a half moon. Just need to heat bottom and top. But was only designed for 2 inch. I took a normal b tank torch, took off the metal tube, had one made and bent, and laser drilled the holes. Worked great!! Could sweat 2inch brass ball valves in about minute and half
Amazing new tools in the market. Although they seem to make the plumbers job way easy, one has to have the knowledge and the skills of a real professional. Impressive tools , nevertheless. Greetings from Toronto.
I have used these new milwaulkee stillsons & i dont think you can beat the thin jaw non aluminium record wrenches, just bring the correct size of wrench for the job so you know the depth of the jaw will grip the fitting/pipe correctly.

Number 8 at the 10:20 mark, the tight-fit tube cutter by NERRAD TOOLS, is worth the price of admission. Your AMAZON link shows 4 sizes priced from $41 to $128.
Especially the jet swet thing. Imagine fitting one of those on a main pressure pipe. You have to fully open the gate valve to fit it... then mop up for about an hour, then start working on the replacement. Fit the replacement then mop up again because the new valve also has to be fully open to remove the jet swet lol.
2:38 my bike handlebar end weights are fixed in a similar manner. Tightening the screw will cause the rubber, placed inside the handlebar, to expand and grip the handle bar.
Quite a few fires are caused by plumbers using flames to solder joints so alternative methods are very worthwhile. On historic buildings these are the only method now allowed after a few burnt down.
As a non plumber, the tool near the end that bent 90 degrees... I'm like, wha..That works?? Seems like it would flatten and crimp. Also not a materials scientist or a leverage-ologist
La prensa de tubo de cobre muy bien, pero la unión cobre hierro galvanizado fatal, hay que poner manguito electrolítico, par evitar la corrosión del hierro.
I’m sorry, but after watching the entire video, the only tool that I was interested In was that circular torch heating device and it wasn't in the list.
Not a pro but I've been re-piping my properties for years including a small commercial building without any of those tools for copper pipes. Would have been nice if I knew about those tools but without it forces me to do it another way with what I have.
I actually have them and they are great but definetly not heavy duty work there are vetter options around but for small stuff its great especially the smaller one perfect for few corners where its hard to work
Why not just solder a valve onto that clean end of pipe you have there after you cut off the compression nut , why sweat on a coupler with a short piece of pipe then put another compression valve on ?
Thats correct, during the eighties swaging tools started to appear in plumbers toolkits but gas installation rules & regs made it illegal to thin the wall on a joint which put paid to that nonsense.
been doing plumbing for years....don't need no jet swet....use pro press...use battery powered tube cutter...manuall crimping ring sucks...expander tool is cool but limited usage...there are better more acurrate tube benders....pipe wrenches are cool but they show a wrong way of using them
I have one made by a company called Master (product’s called “plumber’s bread”), it’s only $100 and is a life saver if you’ve got a valve that won’t seat, and building shut downs aren’t an immediate option.
Regarding number 10, any good pipefitter would understand that the depth of the jaws on larger diameter pipe/fittings is what gets the job done. This doesn't seem to be demonstrated here. My advice is use narrow jaw non aluminium record stillsons & carry the correct size wrench for the job. Trust me a pipefitter 40 years in knows better than these salesmen/women...
Nice to see the chap sleeving the through wall pipe, most don’t bother, does wind me up when I see a bare pipe , sometimes even cemented in without any form of sleeve , 😳 WTF!
The only thing that has not been available for 10 years is the cordless expander, ( which are useless) stillson's have been around for a hundred years you obviously don't get out much.
@@plumbraider2265 well, noone does it wasnt 100% true, i still see it done for air conditioning units (not sure if thats the proper english term) but everywhere else it has been replaced at least as far as i have seen in my company and work done by others.
When you have over a hundred rentals in the city we switched everything to cvpc. So much easier and cheaper than copper And now our houses aren't being broken into and trashed by those low life's
This is absolutely rediculous. I've been a plumber for 35 yrs. These people need to delete this crap and get in touch with a real plumber. Makes me sick watching this.

Merry Christmas all my fellow plumbers especially those working through the holiday season. Have a good one and stay safe.
I’m digging that torch head.That thing had like six micro burners!

Someone stole it sadly.
Number 7? Screw the expander swage, WHERE CAN YOU GET THAT TORCH WITH A 360 degree flame????
Did anyone found it
@@gursharansingh7839 Cap'n Hook MTF-5 is called for the 360 torch
To hell with the naysayers, I love that ratcheting tubing cutter.
Jet swets have saved my ass so many times before I got a pro press. Blew my mind the first time I saw it
I made my own version of jet swets over thirty years ago.
Круто... Удобный инструмент.. Удобно работать.
Used them all, the second one, the plug, I made it my for 1" pipes
I just want to make a basin wrench with this head, and an impact wrench
#3 is actually #1

Greetings from Toronto.
I mean, gone are the days of carpal tunnel with half of these which is never a bad thing.
What's wrong with making your job easier?
I have used these new milwaulkee stillsons & i dont think you can beat the thin jaw non aluminium record wrenches, just bring the correct size of wrench for the job so you know the depth of the jaw will grip the fitting/pipe correctly.
1st tool only works on copper tubing like for HVAC lines, no plumbing L or M.
Best thing that I have seen
Thank you
No parece mala idea calentar el caño antes de expandir, si total luego se va soldar, nunca lo había pensado. Muchas gracias, saludos desde Uruguay!!

good tools

I have a couple of those tools already for years now
There was a few items they showed here i could use,,,But buying them now after i retired would be kind of stupid
When you put a compression fitting on do you need to flare the end.
Cap'n Hook MTF-5 that's what's it called for the 360 torch 👍
These tools have been around for many yrs
Hi a new subscriber in your TH-cam channel I love to do plumber but I'm found in Africa 🌍
Been a plumber for nearly 40 years and didn't see anything in the video that made me think wow
TOSSER

at #7 where did you get the torz from ? I like the flaming very handy for tight spaces
You guys did a great job, let's create together, see you all

We can't do flared fittings in Kansas City
Great
Very smart!
Can anyone attest as to if that flaring drill attachment works well?
Quite a few fires are caused by plumbers using flames to solder joints so alternative methods are very worthwhile. On historic buildings these are the only method now allowed after a few burnt down.
I use bread for plugging running water
I wrapped a thinger tube inside big one, can let water still running while soldering
Awesome!
Could have just shut the zone valve ,good product .
excellent
As a non plumber, the tool near the end that bent 90 degrees... I'm like, wha..That works??
Seems like it would flatten and crimp.

They guy at 9:20 has a grip like my sister! LMAO!
One Year Warranty is ridiculous for hand tools.. 😬
A great way and technique...great job i love it
Number 2 is a nice tool but is pain in the ass when the pressure is more then 50 psl
THAT JET SWEAT!!!! HOLY SHIT EVER TRIED TO SWEAT 2IN FULL??? SHIT TAKES ALL DAY TO DRAIN
With the Jet swet just snatch the fitting. You already had a 22 / 3/4 nut and olive to use
The point was demonstrating it causes a water 💧 tight seal so you can solder or use a compression fitting 🔧
La prensa de tubo de cobre muy bien, pero la unión cobre hierro galvanizado fatal, hay que poner manguito electrolítico, par evitar la corrosión del hierro.
#4 looks like a chinese Knipex cobra knock-off.
Why did you need a 3/4 coupling on the jet sweat bit?
Why didn't you change that old valve on the 1/2 compressed lines?
It’s to show it’s use dummy
He's either not a plumber, or if he is he's lazy and not a professional!
Aye that tools nothing but a waste of money.
@@sammathias8778 The Jet Sweat?
wow i want sam of them
Hii ok nice
Fantastic!!
Sucks Menards does not carry number 8 anymore. Got to getit from Amazon UK

7:42 Nice of you folks to make a flat metal width-gauge to check my work, so that I can know whether my joint is "sercure" or not :P
My plumber is so expensive he won't make house calls.
You can tell the DIY handymen in these comments. I have several of these tools. They save a ton of money and more importantly time.
2:35 теперь тоже самое с нормальным давлением и кипятком
3:52 была труба на 20 поставили на 16
Ага, а кристинку в хрущёвку в подвал лежаки крутить😂
Onde encontrar essas ferramentas no Brasil ???
On #2: How do you ream the pipe after you cut the line?
Cant
I have interest for the pipe cutter on the first video with jet asset. Is there Anyone know the name of the pipe cutter?
the work pro pliers is a great idea as long as the groove settings are robust enough to take the strain. thats the issue i see and have in the past
I actually have them and they are great but definetly not heavy duty work there are vetter options around but for small stuff its great especially the smaller one perfect for few corners where its hard to work
Why not just solder a valve onto that clean end of pipe you have there after you cut off the compression nut , why sweat on a coupler with a short piece of pipe then put another compression valve on ?
Who ever came with this idea is great but where do we buy it friend
I don’t think we’re allowed to use these joints in the U.K. that is, not according to building regs, due to their weakening the joint.
Thats correct, during the eighties swaging tools started to appear in plumbers toolkits but gas installation rules & regs made it illegal to thin the wall on a joint which put paid to that nonsense.
Where could l buy these tool ?who can give me the website link, very thks!
All these tools have been out for years.

Any services in Louisville ky please?
1:35 lol that most be water pressure in south africa or something
Buy pex screw that or 1/2 couplers
Not much use down south. We use cpvc
Deberían de poner donde comprarlos por mercado libre
Boy 600$ for the Jet Swet on Amazon.......I find this tool very useful...but too expensive I guess will keep using bread........
I have one made by a company called Master (product’s called “plumber’s bread”), it’s only $100 and is a life saver if you’ve got a valve that won’t seat, and building shut downs aren’t an immediate option.
Old style Hu , nice
Expensive & bulky expander tool to replace a $.15 coupling when you will solder anyway? Hmm...
I'm sure their kicking themselves for not inventing expansion tool for pex Instead of copper 🤣
$.15 were?
Right
And same can be done with the first tool that I am sure is short money but both tools give one less joint which is one less leak point potential
Looks like it was soft copper, not rigid.

Jet sweat. How do you ream the pipe with that unit in place?
That was my first thought exactly!
Do it before you put jet sweat in, even though he didn't do that, also it was a valve with unions already anyways didn't even need jet sweat
9:10 yo quiero saber donde encuentro ese tipo de antorcha? Si alguien me puede ayudar
great video, thanks
Where can I purchase those tools
4:41, a press gun is nice and all, but that whole copper run could’ve been bend
noone does that anymore at least here in central germany. havent seen a bend copper line since press fittings are a thing.
@@Celestix666 maked me a little sad, I love bending my copper and steel.

9:40 My new blunt lighter😃
So why does a pipe cutter need a ratchet function?
Awesome
I refuse to buy a metric copper tubing cutter.
Whose cutter do you borrow?
Plus it was a left handed version 🤣
공구가격이얼마나요구입이가능한지
Absolutely right. No use on imperial pipe..
never close your crimpers all the way for storage. ruins the crimpers.
Milwaukee wrench, why would you use it on plastic???good luck when you over tighten it
Not much new here most of these tools have been on the market for years.

How old is this video. The romax 3000 ist at least a year not available…

I haven't been plumbing no where near as long as you but I agree.
y didn't you just solder a new valve on
The kit how much...I need ...
Much nice, very need
