Professionals don't use junk like that. That POS is right out of "Ed The Plummaah's" tool box. I recently learned I have the DIY channel in my line up. I saw a show called Ed the Plumber, and was horrified. I want to severely beat that guy.

Re: Antex Pipemaster Solodering Tool


I have actually used one of those. It is a piece of crap. Sent it back for a refund. The jaws will not stay aligned and they do not make full contact all the way around.

I have seen the real thing in use (don't remember the brand) which worked perfectly but that is a $600 to $700 unit.

I found this one: http://www.northstate.com/ridgid/en-us/dept_141.html

It looks like the one I saw in use.

Saw a similiar one like this and guy loved it for under house remodels and repairs. Said it worked great with no worry about fire in a confined space.
