What fittings does this tool crimp?

It is made for copper tube fittings using VUS jaws. The kit includes 1/2", 3/4" and 1" jaws, so it covers those three copper tube sizes.

Does it need a battery or power?

No. It is a hydraulic hand tool, so the crimping force comes from pumping the handle. There is no cord, battery or charger.

Will it fit in tight spots?

The head is designed for narrow spaces and for tee fittings, so it can reach joints where a bulky press tool will not fit.

How does it compare with a cordless press tool?

A cordless press tool crimps faster with one trigger pull. This tool costs less, needs no battery, and relies on manual pumping, which is slower on larger sizes.

The 1/2" VUS jaw, the 3/4" VUS jaw and the 1" VUS jaw. No case or other jaw profiles are listed.

Plumbers and HVAC installers who press copper fittings regularly and want the three common sizes in one hydraulic tool without battery upkeep.

Our take on the Hydraulic Copper Pipe Crimping Tool with 1/2", 3/4" and 1" VUS Jaws

A hydraulic press tool for crimping copper tube fittings, supplied with 1/2", 3/4" and 1" VUS jaws. The hydraulic drive lets one person seat a fitting with a squeeze rather than hand force, and the compact head is shaped to reach narrow spaces and tee fittings. It suits plumbers and HVAC installers moving to press-fit copper who want three common sizes in one kit. Against battery press tools it trades speed for no charger, no battery and lower cost; against manual crimpers it does the work with far less hand effort.
