My Superfire 2 is now leaking gas from the pressure relief hole ( just below the trigger).
It is 14 months old and looks like new. The previous one did exactly the same but i think I got about 3 years out of it.

Hi.
I've recently purchased a press tool which is branded geberit but it's actually a novopress aco 103.
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an adaptor that would fit so I can get the machine in tight spaces. I know Rems do a 45° attachment but not sure if this would fit in my...

I've found this website called gasqet.com. They make 3D printed washers made out of a different plastic that is higher spec apparently, so it's a lot stronger, and recyclable (though why you'd want to, I have no idea). But they are the same price as normal washers.
Has anyone tried them out...

How long do they normally last...changed the batterys but mine still churps away over an opened gas hob as if there's no leak (after calibration).
I'm looking for a quality robust sealant between rubber bathroom flooring and sanitary ware as well as gap filling between floor and skirting, it's not a wet room but needs to go off hardish and be easy to clean. Does CT1 fit the bill?

I’m moving from USA to the UK and with my tools is my Milwaukee ProPress gun. I am under the assumption that I will need to leave the 1/2” 3/4” and 1” jaws in USA and buy new 15, 22, 28 jaws in the UK unless someone here might know if the imperial jaws will press metric fittings too?
