This is cool for the price of the tool. I do have a vevor powered sander, but i wouldnt consider it reliable to use professionally over a quality tool. Give us an update if you have any issues or leaking fittings. Thanks for the video.
These fittings have been around since the late 80's in water , hvac and more. The first tools were hand operated , then corded , most of the failures have nothing to do with tools but bad prep. The Vevor tool is not as high quality as the m12 or others but it's way better than the older tools that did the job before. If a failure happens from using it 99.9% chance it's user error.
@@wind5250 i am fighting with a plumber who insists cleaning, deburring each end prior to use is unnecessary. we had 3 3/4 inch nibco fittings fail 5 weeks after install, and i told him at that time to clean and prep the pipes... he insists its nibco's issue with their slotted orings... I am so sick of his shit.
Thanks for the info, can you compare HEWLEE and VEVOR, I've been using HEWLEE lately and it's working fine so far, I'm wondering if it can support other brands of jaws
@@justatorchicli4240 i would but I don’t have a hewlee pro press all I have is the Vevor. If hewlee sent me one then I would make videos of their product.
Hey man, thank you soo much for doing this video. I've been doing a lot of research and have found the vevor tool to have slightly different throw or stroke lengths. Have you used this setup with alot of success months later?
@@quintonsweeney8025 so far I have not had any issues. Not sure if you looked at the last video I put up but I’m mega pressing gas 3/4 fittings and I did not experience any problems.
Hey fella! I bought this propress after watching your video, works amazing on copper ofcourse. Have you ended up using it on galvanized gas? And have you seen any issues?
@@joshuacroft3354 I’ve used it both on gas and water galvanized lines. Take a look on my channel and you’ll be able to see both. ua-cam.com/users/shorts7eUqHjPJkeA?si=386q7qGQo_Qb7gTe
I haven’t done any research on the hvac side but I know that if any jaws are compatible with the Milwaukee m18 then you can definitely use those jaws on the Vevor pro press. Does that help?
@@davek5529 yes they work perfect 👌 I have a video on my channel of me using them. In that video I pressed 1/2 inch fittings. I’ve also pressed 3/4 gas fittings with the Vevor pro press but i didn’t record it which I should have but I just wanted to hurry up and get the job done. I will record the next one.
The press sounded like a bunch of steel being ground up. Why not just use the Vevor clamps since they are cheaper than the Milwaukee ones? I’ll stick with my Milwaukee presses ugh.
@@hermancm the Milwaukee ones in this video are mega press jaws. Vevor doesn’t make mega press jaws they only make jaws for copper which I have. Some people don’t want to pay for the Milwaukee pro press. My videos are proof that the Vevor works just like any other press out there at a much cheaper price.
@ Yes the Milwaukee presses are more than double the cost, even triple if buying new at retail and if you’re not using the tool a lot it would be hard to justify the cost.

@@jasonchusfo888 Sounds like he's a clown. Pipe that hasn't been deburred will rip the delicate o-ring on insertion and a leak is imminent.
I have the Rothenburger press tool from Johnstone supply that’s for zoom lock fitting press jaws
Another banger. I wonder if the angled Ridgid C1 jaws work on this.
That is a great question. I believe they do but I’m entirely sure. I’m definitely going to buy them but in the future.
Yes, the ridgid c1/v1 kit works with this. Make sure you use the v1 for this full size tool and the c1 for the compact m12 tool.

I also heard you can use Makita batteries on the vevor propress
Yes that is true.

Would love to know and see if the rls/zoom lock hvacr jaws work in this. I would buy it tomorrow if they do
Me2
Anything that fits the full size Milwaukee tool will fit this.
Milwaukee mega press jaws is use for Viega MegaPress fittings ?

Are the Milwaukee megapress jaws made in the USA?
Yes
Will this work for hvac?
I haven’t done any research on the hvac side but I know that if any jaws are compatible with the Milwaukee m18 then you can definitely use those jaws on the Vevor pro press. Does that help?
The press tool yes. But you have to get different jaws such as RLS fitting jaws or similar depending on the fittings
thanks for this info. I heard after a certain time, you need to calibrate the tool, what's that about?
After 30,000 crimps then you have to get it calibrated but to be honest I haven’t seen anything on Vevor saying that they offer that service.
You have to calibrate all press tools of all brands, some advertise 30k presses some 100k.
@@LuisGonzalez-o3x what's the process? Send back to manufacturer?
@@obakpo88 Yes, but not this one. They offer replacements if broken within a year.
Im curious if Ridgid or Milwaukee close quarters will work on this... Should if the milwaukee megapress jaws fit, right? :D
@@PlumbingClinic if you look on my channel I have video’s of me using them on jobs with the Vevor pro press.
@@levi5016 I’ll check it out tough guy
Have you used the mega press yet and did they work well on the gas lines?
@@davek5529 yes they work perfect 👌 I have a video on my channel of me using them. In that video I pressed 1/2 inch fittings.

I thought the jaws had an octagon shaped hole in them ? Are these for crimping pex rings ?
The jaws in the video are not for pex rings but you can buy pex jaws from a different brand who sells them and put them on there.
The Milwaukee jaws in the video are for pressing black iron pipe and galvanized pipe.
@@LuisGonzalez-o3x Oh..thanks !
