Zupper Press Tool + Crown Tools -- Both Excellent!
The Zupper PZ-2430 press / propress tool works great. I've used the Milwaukee compact M12 tool + jaws as well, and I can say they are basically the same user experience. Both jaws fit onto the joints and crimp the fittings well and both resulted in zero leaks in a dozen or crimps on two separate jobs I've done. What I really liked about Zupper is how well-balanced it is for one-handed use, allowing me to press the joint together with one hand and run the press tool cycle with the other. I had some serious misgivings about buying this brand given how little-known it is at this time, however I was super pleased I did. This tool does the same job as the Milwaukee (or Nibco, Ridgid, etc.) at a fraction of the cost. Absolutely perfect for homeowners. Especially if you run Makita 18V tools as these use the same batteries.
Attached are some pictures of the tool case and a bypass loop I added when putting in a new water softener at my house.
Crown Tools are also fantastic. I emailed/called them a few times to talk about this tool before and after buying and their support is super responsive and helpful. I would definitely be happy to buy from these folks again. They are an authorized reseller of Zupper Tools, one of only a few currently in the US. So you know you'll get proper support from the manufacturer if something does need repair.
Crown tools is the place to get the tools you need. Website is easy to use, they shipped my order fast and had everything I ordered packaged really well. This is the way a store should be. The only thing that I didn't like was I wish they had more hand tools. If you shop here you will be taken care of quick and easy.
