Torch or press tool? 🔥🔧
The plumbing world is divided — and in this video, Roger Wakefield breaks down the REAL truth about press vs solder in 2026.
Are press tools making plumbers faster and richer… or are they turning skilled tradesmen into “parts assemblers”? We’re diving deep into the debate with real-world jobsite experience, ROI breakdowns, labor savings, and the newest technology from Milwaukee and Ridgid.
In this video you’ll learn:
✅ Press vs solder speed comparison
✅ Why plumbers are switching to press systems
✅ The TRUE cost of labor vs fittings
✅ Milwaukee Force Logic vs Ridgid RP 115
✅ Flat rate pricing secrets plumbers use to increase profits
✅ Whether press fittings are actually reliable
✅ How modern press tools save your body and your time
We also answer the 3 biggest questions plumbers ask:

👉 What’s the best press tool for plumbers?

Whether you’re an old-school plumber who loves sweating copper or a new-school tech using battery-powered press tools, this video will challenge the way you think about plumbing efficiency and profitability.
