While I do have a few years here on earth I am a newby in comparison to many of you. We bought our first rv in 1999 and it was 11 years old then.

No leaks there either and so much easier than soldering. Expensive, YES, but effective and easy.
I keep a variety of Flair-It fittings and I may buy the spanner someday.
Exactly, I got tired of stuffing bread in the line before soldering so one of my last sprinkler system installs got a sharkbite to copper. :)
