Hello, I use viega pureflow press tools and PEX sleevess for my pex piping. My 3/4" pureflow press tool has been moderately used and it is becoming easier to clamp than it was in the past. It has gotten to the point where it takes more effort to clamp my 1/2" press tool closed than it does my 3/4" press tool. I am worried that it may not be closing stiffly enough to make to proper crimp in the pex sleeve.
I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to recalibrate or adjust these pureflow press tools? I cannot see any way to adjust them, nor can I find any info on adjusting them online or on viega website? Other than occasionally oiling them they seem to be maintenance free. Am I missing something here? Has anyone else ever had this issue? I hate to have to buy a new pair if there is a way to adjust them as they are not cheap. Thanks.
