I have a compression tool that is adjustable for different brands of fittings.
And that is one of the tools I'm talking about. The correct tool will have a positive stop or throw that is factory calibrated for the fitting you are using. Different tool for different fitting, or at least a few different fittings. It CANNOT be user adjustable beyond the gauge that comes with it to maintain factory calibration.
"Universal" compression tools that know when to stop by how hard they are pushing on the fitting are junk. They will undercompress or over compress and there is no way to tell.
