Looking at getting a pro press system. Will be doing black iron gas lines as well as copper for boiler systems. Any thoughts as to what is the best tool for the job. Not worried to much about cost just want a tool that wont fail me and is good to work with...

    Ridgid has the best selection. You may want to consider several tools so you have a backup. The M12 batteries last much longer than the small batteries that usually come with the tool and are interchangeable.

    We have Ridgid for Mega amd copper. I've used the small Milwaukee for copper, nice and compact, easy to get in tighter places.

    There is a small learning curve with black, running pipe with zero tension on the fittings will slow you down here and there.
