Editors at This Old House Magazine selected two Uponor products for their “Best New Building Products Tools for Pros” 2011 annual compilation.   Of the 14 “professional grade” tools highlighted, editors were impressed with Uponor’s Self-Contained Radiant-Heat System or Radiant Ready 30E Radiant mechanical room in-a-box launched earlier this year.  TOH editors also gave high marks to a new cordless PEX expander tool from Milwaukee Tools, rating it a “must have.”  The compact tool offers an extremely fast, precise way to make watertight connections in Uponor ProPEX tubing.  Plus, it’s really cool to see in action.  Kudos to Uponor engineering.
