HHEWLEE Pro Press Copper Crimper Propress Tool with 4 Jaws 1/2", 3/4", 1",1-1/4", Battery Powered Crimping Tool 42KN for US Standard Copper Pipe or Stainless Steel Tube, Suitable for Plumber(HZT-50B)

What a great pro press tool at 1/6 the price of a brand name. Works great, smooth and has plenty of force for 2" copper. It's a little heavy so keep that in mind (the jaws make it heavy). The tool itself is pretty light. I read that it can use Makita batteries and all I have are Milwaukee tools. I'm okay with that and it was a selling point in my book. I used this tool to do a whole bathroom, replaced a new 1" copper valve on a supply - no solder mom! This tool along with pivoting heads I got off of another site, completes my kit for plumbing my house (pex a/b, propress). Now I have the ability to swap and transition from copper cpvc pex to press. Update. Quick video of the pivoting press jaws. Works great. No leaks.

Very impressed with the quality of this unit and the power and compatibility to press all types of Pro Press fittings. As an Irrigation contractor doing quite a bit of plumbing work we needed to have more of these pro press tools in our trucks but simply could not afford to purchase several of the Milwaukee branb units and found this for 1/3 the price. We have been using these for 3 months now with no issues and the batteries last longer than the competitors and the men love them as a big time saver !. The jaws also pivot assisting in close spaces which the other brand does not. All said, very happy and plan on purchasing another unit or two next season.

Fast delivery. The crimper works well, and the tool case is very nice. Not very heavy and fits into tight spaces.

Just to be clear, I am not a plumber, but I am not completely unfamiliar with the tool. I have used once or twice from a friend of mine but I just don’t use it a lot. So I am sharing this review from a DIY perspective. First of all, the machine pressed the fittings, as well as the Milwaukee, or the rigid press tool would have done, I did a few test presses on a few fittings before I proceeded to use it for any permanent applications. Here are a few things to consider if you want to get this particular tool: 1) it is very, very heavy. It is about twice or more than twice the weight of a comparable, Milwaukee, or rigid tool, so, if you’re using it in tight spaces, it would be cumbersome to carry or bring, along other fittings and tools necessary to do a job. I tried it on a crawlspace job that only gave me 18 to 20 inches of clearance so you can imagine dragging along almost 20 pounds of tool fittings other necessary tools across a very narrow crawlspace. 2) The jaws of the press tool was bulky so again with tight spaces. It’s very difficult for you to be able to clamp the fittings with the head before pressing so you have to get creative with some of the positions that will allow you to have a proper press so I don’t imagine working on in wall pipes without breaking a larger area of the wall. 3) the length of the tool is a lot longer than other pro press tools so again, with tight spaces like a crawlspace being creative in the position is how you will be able to perform a proper press 4) is there is no safety lock or the press button so if you are carrying it along and accidentally pressed the button, it will activate just slightly but since there is no lock to the button, you may accidentally depress it to the point that something gets pinched with the jaws or something like that, because the button gets pressed Overall, if you are using the tool with enough clearance like outdoors or open spaces, then value for the money. It’s the best bang for the buck. If you are using it in tight space application, you have to get creative in how to maneuver yourself into getting the jaws and the tool position so that you can do a proper press and in terms of build quality and usability, it is heavy, so I assume that it has very robust components, and it did work very well

A great product at a great price ....have no complaints. Makes my job so much easier. Anyone on the fence about buying, it's definitely worth the money.

Let me start off by saying the MINI version is very lightweight. It is not a heavy tool at all and if you think so you should probably hit the gym. Overall, it works flawlessly. I do HVAC and plumbing and am usually a Milwaukee guy but three times the price of this tool I felt I needed to try the alternative. The body on this tool rotates which is a very nice feature that the expensive counterparts do not have. The only thing I have yet to see is how durable it is long term and how long it will last. For now, it has 5 stars.

I ordered my Hewlee copper propress tool with multiple jaw attachments to crimp propress fittings ranging from 1/2" to 1-1/2". The tool arrived within a couple of days. The tool came nicely packaged in a case that also contained a battery charger, two batteries, and 4 sets of criming jabs. I have used the tool several times and it works great. I have used it for some large projects and the batteries last a long time. I have neve had to change batteries mid project. This is a well made tool. It has more than enough power to crimp fittings over 1". This tool takes a fraction of the time it would otherwise take to pipe in a system the traditional metod of sweating pipes and fittings together.

The short and sweet version is: its a great product, works just as well as the super expensive name brand options. It works well to crimp copper fittings. To do pex you would need to purchase additional jaws. This tool uses full size Ridge brand jaws if you need a specific jaw, but it comes with enough copper crimping jaws to do most jobs. If you have used Makita tools in the past the battery and charger will be very familiar with you, and that's a good thing since you can use any existing Makita batteries/chargers you may have with this as well. My tool came with Chinese as the default language, but after some back and forth with after sales support they gave me excellent instructions on how to change it to English. I believe they posted a video showing the process to the product page now. Overall, its a well made design. It crimps copper fittings without any leakages. Both the jaws it comes with and Ridged brand jaws fit it very well. I would both recommend this product and buy it again if I had to!
