Anyone using the latest Rehau tool? (RAM)

Richard Miller_2

I have it and I love it. The 1/2" combo tool is very cool and works like a charm. I can post pics if any wants to see it. It is made by Malco for Rehau.

Here it is...

You can put a 1/2", 3/4", or a 1" expanding head on one end and the other end squeezes 1/2" rings only.

It is fast and the joints never leak. Even in cold weather.

I really hate to say this but... goodbye Wirsbo.

I have used a bunch of Rehau but the old squezze tool was horrible!

The second generation was better.

Third time IS A CHARM!

I love this tool

This is the second generation...

I was lucky enough to end up with 2 complete sets. Each set included

Toolbox

Expander tool

1/2, 3/4, and 1" expander heads

Second generation squeeze tool

1/2, 3/4, and 1" easy change jaws for the 2nd gen tool

Cleaning brush

Lube

Allen wrench

Pipe cutters (a white version of the orange General one)

Large diameter ratchet pipe cutters


I combined sets to end up with this in one toolbox...

2 - 3rd gen tools with 1/2" expander heads

1 - Expander tool with 3/4 head

1 - Expander tool with 1" head

1 - 2nd gen squeeze tool with 3/4" head

1 - 2nd gen squeeze tool with 1" head

2 - Pipe cutters

1 - Large diameter pipe cutters

1 - Lube

1 - Brush

2 - Allen wrenches

Talk about a production set up!

They had a trade in program where you could trade in old Wirsbo tools for these sets. I traded in 2 I bought for $75 each. Salesman likes it because now he sells me pipe and fittings.

Fittings are a lot cheaper than Wirsbo. Rings are 60% of Wirsbo's cost. Nothing against Wirsbo. I like them. But I like this better.

and....

Here are some fittings I put together to show you.

Very easy to reuse!

Easy Reuse ???

Please explain how to reuse the fittings?

Richard Miller_2

simple

warm up the sleeve with a heat gun until the PEX underneath is soft (I cheat with a torch) and then slide the sleeve back with a pliers. Same as with Wirsbo except I would never reuse a Wirsbo ring!

works for me
