Greenlee Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, has recently launched a new line of Gorilla⢠pressing tools designed for joining pipe safely by eliminating the need for an open flame and a hot work permit on the jobsite. The new Gorilla⢠pressing tool line features two separate tool platforms: the inline battery pressing tool (INLNPRESS-TOOL19kN) and the pistol grip battery powered pressing tool (PSTLPRESS-TOOL32KN). Both tools quickly press watertight connections in three to four seconds. The inline pressing tool has a fitting capacity of 1-1/2â? (38.1mm) on PEX and 1-1/4â? (31.8mm) on copper and stainless steel, and the pistol grip pressing tool has a fitting capacity of 2â? (50.8mm) on PEX and 4â? (101.6mm) on copper and stainless steel.
