my name's Allen Hart and today I wanted
to look at the new Hilti press gun so
what I want to do is I've just got this
new guilty press gun today and I wanted
to compare it with the Milwaukee press
gun which we've are now far a year
lesser two years maybe so trying to run
for your bar for them for you and then
just give you my opinion of them both
just one thing to point out I'm just a
gas engineer and it's just my opinion
I'm not at all expert so let's go so
when we compare both press guns we can
see that the hill to want is quite a bit
bigger than the Milwaukee one the the
Hilty one has got the Hilton one is 22
volts and the Milwaukee one is 12 volts
so the the Hilter you can get a slimmer
battery that would make it a little bit
a little bit shorter but even so it's
still quite a bit longer than the
Milwaukee one so you can use the same
jars for both these press guns so we've
got the novel press jars these are the
em pan so that's one thing just to check
that your fittings at use you need to
ask the manufacturer of the fittings or
check which jars are for the fittings so
we use Express fittings or we use giblet
fins algebra or however you pronounce it
and they use the the M jar so when the
ripped from Hilty came he he had some v
jars now they they are not compatible
with these fins so yeah that's just
something you just need to just
double-check make sure you've got the
right jars for the right fittings and
also the right just for the guns so yeah
so these jars fit in both these guns and
15-mile jars
so to Britain there that just has a
lever just go like that
that's pulled out put in there and down
and then you can just use just use the
press gun just got button on there so on
the Milwaukee one if you press and hold
the bond and if you just on it for a few
seconds three seconds four seconds it
will continue to do the press for you so
you don't need to keep hold of the bond
now that's okay in in your shoe normally
if you did jam the thing it has a button
there that you can press and that will
release the jar on the new one so with
the Hilty one you just twist that so you
start like push it in and twist it and
then that'll open the open it so you can
put the jar in and then you just put
your jar in and then just push it in now
with this gun this is a little bit
different so if you when you press them
with this one you you press and hold it
until you finish the press if if it
jumped off and you have to reset it it
has a little lever on side here where
you can just go that push it down and
you can reset it so personally I like
that one because you just press it and
and it does the it does the press but I
can see the advantage of this one
because if you press that to press it
and you think it's not quite on arm you
wanted to double check it you could stop
it you could release it and you could
check your puck off and just check your
fitting so you know whichever whichever
you prefer really so some people say
that this looks like DIY but it's far
from DIY the
rooms are around 2,000 pound or so so
you wouldn't be getting a DIY person
doing this now the fittings just show
you the fittings so the fittings the
oven or ring in there don't if you can
see it he's lit and what you do is you
put your pipe in and follow the
instructions for the manufacturers so
most manufacturers will tell you they'll
have a gauge that you put on there and
you mark it with a pen so you know the
thing is in correctly so we blast it in
and then we get as press gum you know
with that we're just pressing Holly
and that's it that's pressed so you can
see on there how its pressed with the
lines in it
and then if you look there we can see
this got black Lorren
if you're gonna use these for gas then
you'd measure the other yellow oring in
there now for me the benefits of crests
one one is the risk of fire in a
property but the main reason for me is
one we get when we do a fitting like
that if we soldered that we would have
loads of flux in there how we would have
some flux in there and we'd get that
into the water so if we're doing a
central heating system we'd end up with
all that flux in the heating system and
then we've got spent quite a lot of time
flushing that flux out of the system now
with these fittings there's no flux so
it's it's much it's much easier really
so if you have a look at the fit in
there we can see it's put lines in it so
you can see it's all pressed
I think that I think Preston is really
good the downsides what I would say is
the cost of it
so the fittings are quite expensive and
obviously the guns are expensive so
that's the main downside the other
downside is sometimes your struggles
getting with the guns as you can see
that's quite big so in some areas you're
gonna struggle to get in with you press
good so you might you might decide that
you'd like to solder but all in all it
might pinion the press comes a much
better than soldering and we did try
that that glow stuff but I'll go into
that at that one I want overly impressed
with out so it looks like it's back to
suppress fame for now so first look of
the hill - so it's called the hill - and
p19 - so the first look the hill to
press gone it looks really good it feels
good it suits the different batteries
for all the other models of the 22 well
so it looks like it'll be a really good
product
the Milwaukee if you've got Milwaukee
12volts products then this will sue suit
you the problem is most people will have
18 bolt Milwaukee products and then
you've got 12 different battery file for
this gun so so it's a little bit
mismatched so I'm looking at both of
them there's pluses and minuses with
both of them the this one is really good
because it's it's lighter it's smaller
but you've got to have a different
battery the guilty one it's a little bit
bigger but Allah volts in batteries so
it really will depend on what kit you
have I've got some
stuff with these batteries so I'm gonna
try this Hilter press gun for a while
and just see how we're going with it and
if if we find that it's too big then
I'll go back to this one but a lot of
batteries would be a benefit for me
so one charger and one one set of
batteries so yeah so I hope that was of
some use if you do have any questions
with regard to press Thane then please
that please add them in comments below
and I'll try my best to answer any
questions that count thanks thanks for
thanks for taking time torch this video
