    • Love it!!!
Style: Battery Kit ( 1/2"-1" Jaws Capacity)
I love this new press tool which I am new to the game of pro press. I use it on just about everything and the configurations you can make with Viega press fittings is so much easier without breathing in the fumes from a torch. This tool is made in Switzerland and the quality is unreal! Works on bluetooth to record your presses and gives you diagnostics in case your tool needs to be serviced. Great system and very well made product. You get what you pay for! Worth the investment. ... show more

    • Best purchase ever!
Style: Battery Kit ( 1/2"-1" Jaws Capacity)
I'm a residential plumber and I'm consistently running into situations where I can't stop a drip, making soldering extremely difficult. This takes all that away. Saves so much time and removes all fire Hazzards. Save time, make more money!

Has been great and helped in a couple situations. I am not a plumber, but have used this numerous times and just ordered the c1 kit for the hard to reach places.

    • Game Changer, Worth the Price
Style: Battery Kit ( 1/2"-1" Jaws Capacity)
This tool is worth the investment. It's faster than sweating in many cases. You can plumb with wet connections. And it increases safety as it doesn't require the use of an open flame in confined construction areas. Copper is time-tested and a premier material when valuing a home. RIDGID makes quality tools. ... show more

    • Best press tool
Style: Battery Kit ( 1/2"-1" Jaws Capacity)
We bought a cheap non battery version and used it for a couple of years. But ran into certain positions just impossible to press. Finally We invested in the rp241 and this tool can do everything, including up to 1" megapress. A little expensive for home owner but so worth it. Way better than Milwaukee progress tool. Keep up the good works Rigid. This tool already paid for itself in labor cost. ... show more

    • Do Not Buy from Amazon.
Style: Battery Kit ( 1/2"-1" Jaws Capacity)
I like Ridgid products simply because of the durability and a lifetime warranty option. However, after trying to register this online, it would not accept it. When I contacted customer service, they told me since I bought it from Amazon it does not come with the lifetime warranty, even though the box says lifetime warranty on it. My suggestion is buy it from Home Depot. The Tool works just fine. ... show more

Awesome Tool , Rigid RP241 had some water pipes that developed pinholes and leaking around soldered area , with the Rp241 was able to repair myself and made the job very easy, would have been very difficult to solder due to location and fire hazards, Awesome Tool Highly recommend.....
