Copper wouldn't sweat without this tool

I was remodeling my bathroom and installed a copper shower system with 2 shower heads, 4 body jets and a diverter along with a mixer valve. I can't count all the joints I had to sweat, but there were a lot. This tool attaches to a drill and makes it 100 times easier to clean fittings inside and outside of copper tubing. I couldn't imagine doing everything by hand, I would get arthritis if I tried. This tool was a real life saver, I took the advice of another reviewer who suggested attaching a small auger clamp to the plastic bushing to keep it from breaking. Not sure if I needed it but it was good for peace of mind. The outer wire bristles worked fine, but the inner tube cleaning bristles seemed like they could do with a bit longer as I had to wiggle the tool a bit to really clean the inside of the tube. The only thing that made it less perfect. In any case, this tool is a must!

Pros
  • Great for plumbing and HVAC projects
Cons
  • Very expensive
