The material of your pipe fitting tools significantly impacts their durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for specific environments. Stainless steel is generally considered the best for most industrial applications due to its strength and corrosion resistance, especially when working in harsh or wet environments. For example, the Mathey Dearman Fit-Up Pro Mini Stainless Protractor DXX-250 and Stepped Pipe Wedge - Medium (2131) both feature stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability. Case hardened steel, as seen in the Mathey Dearman Fit-Up Pro Pie Wedge D274, offers additional wear resistance for heavy-duty applications. A variety of material options means you can choose the best tool for your work environment and expected tool usage.
