Is there a website that carries pro grade plumbing tools? I'm looking for high quality, long lasting tube and fitting brushes, as well as tube cutters for 1/2" up to 2" copper.
I've tried various Rigid tube cutters over the years, with mixed results. My rigid 151 for 1/4 to 1-5/8" is decent no complaints, but my palm sized rigid 101 is brand new and leaves a burr on the outer edge that I have to file down to allow the tube to slip into the fitting...that's poor quality.
I notice the Yellow Jacket cutter gets decent reviews. Anyone have experience with this brand?
How about a Rothenberger tube cutter? They appear to be high quality. Or Imperial Stride cutters?
On the brushes, I like the convenience of those 4-in-1 combo brushes that do 1/2 and 3/4 tube and fittings, but everyone I've tried wears out way to fast. They're all red and look like they were made in the same Chinese factory, regardless of brand. Does anyone know of a higher quality 4-in-1 that will last more than a few jobs? Maybe they're all designed to be used a few times then replaced?
