Pipemaster OK but Jun 23, 2009
By Gary P
"mighty_reader"
The pipemaster seems to work OK for the do-it-yourselfer. Someone who only does a few jobs every once in a while. If you will be using it a lot I recommend you upgrade to the pipemaster professional
Pros It is easy to use and works in tight spaces.
Cons It's designed to heat the pipe and not the fitting so you need to make sure the fitting is hot enough before soldering. The heads have no set screw so they can turn on you and have poor heat transfer. The jaws don't lock closed so and it can take a lot of squeezing to make a connection.
Nice to know First is it only comes with the 1/2" pipe jaws. If you are doing any other size they are a separate order. If you are working with multiple sizes you will have to let it cool down to change heads. Hardware stores now carry a snap connector for copper pipe in T's, elbows, couplings etc. You just push the pipe into the fitting and it locks there water tight. The fittings are in the $5.00 each range.

pipemaster review Feb 28, 2009

Product works as advertised. It worked very well in tight space where a torch may have started a fire.

Great Tool May 22, 2009
By RimeW This is a great tool. Had it for a while and it works great. Safer than a torch and great for DIY like me. May not be for Pro's as it take a while to heat up (torch is almost instant) but great for DIY plumbing projects.
