Virax M2X 20kN Cordless Press Machine with Mother Jaw, M15-22-28 Inserts & 2 Batteries UK - 990978

The Virax 990978 M2X Cordless Press Machine Kit is a compact 20kN electromechanical press tool designed for professional pipe installation work. Supplied with a mother jaw, M15-22-28 inserts, 2 batteries and UK charger, this kit gives plumbers and heating engineers a practical pressing solution for common pipe fitting sizes.

With its lightweight gun-shaped design, 360° rotating head and automatic piston return, the M2X is ideal for working in tight spaces, awkward installations and hard-to-reach pipework areas where control and manoeuvrability are essential.

Compact 20kN Press Tool for Professional Pipe Installations

The Virax M2X combines portability, speed and controlled crimping performance in a compact cordless format. Its microprocessor-controlled effort monitoring helps ensure safe and consistent pressing, while the circular LED ring provides clear visual feedback for crimp quality, battery condition and maintenance status.

The modular mother jaw and insert system helps reduce storage space and tool weight compared with carrying multiple standard jaws. Insert sets are quick to change, easy to transport and ideal for installers who need flexibility across different pipe sizes and fitting systems.

This helps reduce toolbox weight and saves space, especially for installers working with several pipe diameters or fitting profiles.

The mother jaw uses ball locking to provide a practical balance between secure insert retention and easy extraction, allowing insert sets to be swapped quickly as the job requires.
