We are developing a new smaller easier to use tubing tool.Based on our own experience with tubing pliers we feel this tool has a few advantages.
- It puts both hands close to the fitting you are trying to install.
- You can open and close it more accurately than pliers with long handles.
- You dont have to brace one of the plier handles against your side when starting a fitting.
- It is machined to tight tolerances,so it slides freely and stays aligned when pressing the tubes together
- It is small,light weight,and will fit in most coat pockets
- It works so smoothly that most new semi rigid tubing will push together with your bare hands
- It has an acme screw (for long life) to handle harder or cold tubing that cant be hand pressed
- It has a 1/4" hex to fit any cordless screwdriver or drill
- It cost less than pliers
We are open to comments.please feel free to watch the video in the link below and let us know what you all think.

Looks like messing with three items instead of one. Much smaller for sure.

sounds like a good idea. The physical size of the existing tubing tool is the second reason I have never used a tubing tool.

I don't mind using the regular two handed tool, when I've got a lot of drops to install I don't mind lugging it, mine has a shoulder strap. This little guy would be ideal for repairs though. I would buy one just for that. Are they going to be a ails me for sale? What is the price, and how do we get one?
