Mac press fittings and Zupper press tool
Excellent service and items arrived with 48hrs.
4th order I’ve put in with the guys at Macdonald and never been disappointed. All their fittings and tools are top quality and the Zupper press tool is a game changer.
Would highly recommend Macdonald’s to anyone in the trade.
