Press Tool 101: Compact and Standard Inline Tools Compared

Eric Aune compares compact and standard inline press tools, breaking down how they differ in jaw compatibility, pipe capacity, and cost. Compact tools accept only their own jaws and press copper, PEX, stainless, and iron pipe fittings up to a limited diameter, which suits residential and light commercial service and repair work. Standard tools are heavier and pricier, but they handle larger copper and iron pipe, ring-style jaw sets for big-diameter systems, and jobs like pipe snapping and rod cutting. He also discusses why he favors the lighter compact form factor in tight spaces and how battery platforms shape the decision.
