Three months ago i buy a hand tool from a t/m seller for my truckmount and after using it on half a dozen jobs it devolps a problem in the fact the trigger sticks on .On returning the tool i am charged for the repair as i have used too much heat through the tool.This amazes as it was sold for use with a t/m and my t/m does not produce as much heat as the t/ms of the company that sold me the tool.   unbeliveable.

Nothing is unbelievable. Found this (A purchaser who is a consumer, i.e. is not buying in the course of a business, can alternatively request a repair or replacement.) thought everything had a warranty.

yeah me too, i thought anything from new should have a certain amount of warranty by law. somthing like its meant to be fit for the purpose its sold to do.

Steve are you sure it was not too much pressure rather than heat?
Why I say this is because from time to time I tend to blow valves on my CFR upholstery tool when I'm too idol to go out side and turn the pressure down.
Just a thought mate

What PSI max should you use with CFR handtools DAve?

[Buster Ingram]

Hi Jack,
Really depends on which machine your using.
Portables have less flow rate than most T/Ms,
The CFR type of tool I have is one that was cobbled together by a mate I once knew. The valve I have fitted is rated at 500 psi but  at times it will blow the rubbers, this could have something to do with the flow rate of my machine though. Normally I run the tool at between 150 and 200 psi
