One of our customers was raving about his new Ridgid Press Tool. Aside from the terrific warrantee and the quality reputation Ridgid Tools has, he went on to tell me that he was in a basement trying to find out why his customer had no heat. He knew it was going to be a tricky fix. He was deep in a dark dirt floor cellar and he knew that he was going to be deal with water coming out of the repair. He thought it was a good time to try to use the new tool in this tight space. What was great that the press fitting was not affected by the water leaking out and once he used the Ridgid RP-210B that all the leaks stopped.
The ability to work when joints are not completely dry and not having to use solder is a game changer!
Many customers have now upgraded to the cordless model. It is light, dependable and you can sure get into tight spaces. The battery is lasting a long time. Their customers have not complained about further leaks! It is an easy to use tool and you can see how it potentially may replace soldering in the next 10 years.
Another customer uses it commercially and does not have to get a burn permit when they are in a hospital setting. That paperwork along takes up to a week to prepare — the use of the pressing gun eliminates all of that and saves them so much time on the job. No torch and solder.
Bottomline – time is money and the Ridgid Press tools can help you make money. If you can save 15 minutes in one install, how many minutes are you saving a year ? Isn’t that worth the investment ?
