Klauke 19kN Refrigerant Press Tool Kit with 5 RLS Jaws (1/4", 3/8", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8") and Accessories
Powerful, Compact, and Built for Everyday Installs
This versatile 19 kN press kit gives you the power to press up to 1-3/8" copper tubing and includes five of the most commonly used jaw sizes - 1/4", 3/8", 5/8", 3/4", and 7/8" - so you're ready for a wide range of HVAC and refrigeration applications right out of the box.
The Klauke 19 kN Press Tool delivers fast, flame-free connections in 10 seconds or less, eliminating the need for fire watch, nitrogen purging, or special permits. A 350° rotating head, ergonomic grip, and compact design make it ideal for overhead work, tight spaces, and everyday installations.
Powered by Makita 18V Li-Ion batteries, the tool delivers up to 150 presses per charge and recharges in just 15 minutes to keep pace on the job. An automatic piston return, manual release, and LED service alert at 10,000 cycles help ensure smooth, safe, and reliable operation.
Everything comes packed in a durable hard case with two batteries, a rapid charger, and essential installation accessories, including a cutter, deburring tool, depth gauge, press gauge, abrasive pad, marker, and wire brush. Each jaw presses the signature RLS witness mark into the fitting for fast visual confirmation of a secure connection.
