bit the bullet and bought a propress today.My question is (Chris?)when I press a joint will the joint "shift" when pressed or stay square and plumb? I hate pipes that aren't level and plumb.Thanks Dave

    Its a learning curve :).

    Yea it will pull alittle to the side. You need to offset a little before you pull the trigger.

    Good Luck

    The bigger the fitting,

    The more the offset you'll find. Patience and practice are the best teachers. It's a b($%@ to do piping in the air by yourself, so I suggest some help when you have to.(the cordless model gets a bit heavy after a couple of hours of it being overhead) Keep pluggin Dave, you'll learn. I have great expectations of seeing the first job. Chris
