Anyone ever used a PipeCat for copper prep?

Seems interesting. Looks like it cuts, brushes, and sands! They're a bit pricey though for the amount of copper I do, which isn't much. Looks like it would save a ton of time though.

THOUGHTS?

amazing

that looks like a lot of technology for something way too simple....

I am sure it works, but unless you are plumbing copper pipe all the way
across the state of Indiana it just does not look that necessary....


what amazes me is that someone actually got a PATENT on this and

somebody else spent probably MILLIONS to do the research and the

developement......

but who am I to say......

I suppose that their is a market out there....

I need to think something up for the plumbing industry that would save time
and either wrist injury or back injury.....

so I can retire and move to Florida or Arizona...

anyone got any ideas??

I bought one off of e/b/a/y for $150 that was a demo (brand new) and it is great for doing jobs that require numerous feet of pipe and fittings. Cuts quickly/sands quickly/wire brushes the fittings in seconds.

I can honestly say that for the money, it was worth every penny. I don't use it unless I get a job with numerous fittings/pipe involved. Just for little jobs I don't use it.
