The right fittings for the job

Additionally, some online crimpers chose to "give fittings that hang down or a longer run upwards a crimp and quarter turn" and then solder their pipes together. The jury is still out on this issue between crimping and soldering copper pipes. According to many plumbing experts, soldering does give your pipes a long-term, corrosion-free alternative to crimping: but it can be more complex and require a professional. With a 4ah battery, its pretty darn heavy. I'm in my late 30's and in very good shape (Own a crossfit gym too), and lugging this SOB up and down a ladder gets tiring after awhile. I also took the jaws out of the case, the 2" set alone probably weighs 10lbs. In addition, soldering does take longer than crimping, which is often credited for its longer-lasting lifespan. So, you may have a more extended install period, but if your pipes stay watertight for decades, that may be worth it. If you're a cheap person, you're prolly not going to love the price. But I think that for what you get, especially with 0% for 12 months, that more than justifies the price.
