RIDGID Compact 100-B Press Tool for pex tubing?

HT in Pa_3 · April 2007

I do mostly residential and light comercial work, and am in need of a 3/4" and 1" pex crimping tool. I currently have one for only 1/2" tubing.I've been considering the RIDGID Compact 100-B Press Tool. It can be used with jaw sets from 3/8" up to 1-1/4" pex, as well as jaws for the smaller Pro-press fittings. Anyone have some input to help me with this? Is there another tool that's less expensive that I should consider? I'd really appeciate any comments. I won't be able to get back to get your responses till later this evening, but thank's in advance. HT

I have the 100B and love it

good on fostapex that gets tough over 3/4" and in tight spaces.

Also have the Pro press jaws and keep a small assortment of fittings comes in handy when you just do not want to solder or have water coming back.

Not cheap but a nice treat.

Love it!

Have both the 100b and the ridgid 320e and both are very handy to have.

Make sure the jaws you`re using are compatible with the type of pex you plan on installing.

Got that...

The one (minor) drawback is the tool won't fit in the case with the jaws or battery in it.

Does a great job and much lighter than the corded model.
