I loved my Ridgid RP100-B. Granted the head only swiveled 90 degrees, and only came with the 1/2, 3/4 and 1' jaws. I picked up the compact swivel set which included the 1 1/14, I was able to make all manners of presses no matter how tight or an awkward position. The other thing I really like about the R100-B was the batteries were interchangeable with my Ridgid K40-B rodder.

Sadly my Propress grew legs and walked away while it was being stored at my mothers house. No one knows where it went. To bad I didn't log the serial number, I could of reported it to Ridgid, and when they get the tool in for recalibration they could of recovered my tool for me. But as my fathers always said to me 'Ron, if it was not for bad luck we wouldn't have any.' Regardless spam or not, we'll discuss/debate as usual.

I'm M12/18 24/7. It's all about the platform: offering, batteries and chargers.

Yes, I'm biased toward Mil here because it's what I use. This Propress is no different. But it's not like I use Ridgid's. In fact, I haven't so my mouth is shut about it. I will say I've had one multi-tool burn out running it to death hot with 4.0 batteries over months and months.

I have 4, so I sent this one to repair. In 4+ (i forget now) years of extreme duty.that's it. The one tubing cutter that's supposed to be water resistant (head) got submerged and was out for day. Pulled out backup, dried primary for day and back in business. I darn near have every M12/18 item there is including heated jackets, pouch, grease guns, caulkers, drills, drivers, hammer drills, saws, cutters.you name it or want to try it.

I use them all daily and hard. Of course, I'm still waiting for slim inline M12 screwdriver, concrete vibrator and ROOFING NAILER! Well, just top of my list. Bottom-line is M12/18 is what I converged on and converted to. I have tons of Ridgid gear corded from drill presses, cams, locator, pipe threading, etc.

I just don't have nor use its cordless line due to commitment to M12/18 line. I'd be foolish to intermix without some huge gain. Even a tool here there not as efficient. How To Install A Hunter Thermostat Model 441577. ok with me.

Conversely, I've had a Ridgid band saw drive spindle completely fail. Got rid of it and got another brand. Too close for comfort on that. What's more important here is passion and doing things properly. Heck, I sweat copper 90% of time anyway. Change things and not committed to special fittings, etc. Large jobs, rush, difficult/dangerous sweat.of course, press it.

But then again, hey, nothing cracks a hard walnut like a $2,000 Propress, honey! I do and recommend it. Bought it after some nasty burns in confined space.

Outside confined space, I still prefer sweating. It's the welder in me. I don't use it very often which is why I tell my wife she owns a $2k nut-cracker.

Also own the M12 Thermal Imager. You'd be surprised how much I use this. It's really an amazing information-gathering tool. For example, I just finished a tricky, high vaulted ceiling repair and used this in a presentation/proposal to the customer.

No other contractor put on the table the information and plan I did. I have the Ridgid 220b it's been fantastic my only complaint is the batteries don't work at all when cold. I have a lot of Milwaukee m18 fuel tools and m 12 tools and the cold effects them to but no where as bad as it effects the Ridgid batteries. That being said I already had m 12 batteries and still went for the Ridgid it is bigger but seems much better built in my opinion. All thought the m 12 is super compact I think they both have a purpose and you will e happy with either. Although if I could do it again I would probably stick with my Ridgid. The balance on the 200b is a little weird, and it is not a 1 handed tool like the milwaukee (you can open the jaws with the same hand holding the tool).

The ridgid stick felt awkward to me. I loved my M12, but I had it crap out on me twice while in the middle of a job, both required it to be sent out and took several weeks to get it back. I replaced the milwaukee m12 with a 210 and the C1 rings. Very happy with that choice. The 210 has good balance and can get into nearly as tight of spaces as the M12 can.
