Hey everyone! I've only used a pro press tool once and my boss currently doesn't own one. I have a quick question about its compatibility: do the heads that come with it work for both steel and copper pipes, or are they specific to CTS and IPS systems? I think I heard that Milwaukee's presses might handle both types with the right heads? Any insights would be really helpful!

The heads for CTS (Copper Tubing System) and IPS (Iron Piping System) are different across all brands, including Milwaukee. You'll need to choose the appropriate jaws for the specific type of piping you're using, like copper or black iron. Just so you know, there's also ACR (Air Conditioning Refrigerant) which has its own set of jaws too!
What exactly is ACR? I’m still figuring out all these tools. But just to confirm, all the jaws should be compatible with the same press, right? Up to the diameter limit of the tool?
