Rent hand pliers or electric? Which is best? Very simply put, the choice is easiest to make after considering whether you have to make a lot of pressings and whether there is enough space. A hand pliers is much larger and has to be "pumped up", so to speak, but a hand pliers is cheaper. We understand that this is the first time you do such a job that it can be confusing, but 20,000 customers have already preceded you and if you really can't figure it out, we will help you!
So if you need to make two pressings and you have enough space for the job, choosing a manual crimper is logical. In all other situations, choosing an electric crimper is easier and faster!
Important difference for Rehau couplings:
-
Stabil : Multilayer tube with aluminium core, stiffer and dimensionally stable. Specific couplings required due to construction.
-
Flex : Plastic tube without aluminum core, more flexible. Requires other couplings that are specially adapted to this tube.
-
Rautherm : PE-Xa pipe for underfloor heating, with its own coupling system that does not fit on Stabil or Flex.
Critical point:
The links for Stable , Flex , and Rautherm are series specific and not interchangeable. It is crucial to check carefully when ordering that you choose couplings and pipes from the same series. Incorrect combinations lead to leaks or an unsafe installation.
When renting a pressing pliers, we always provide a peeler and cutting pliers!
