This variety of possible installations has now been made even simpler and more effective with the introduction of Z-Press Angled M-profile jaws. These angled jaws are available for Z-press battery operated press tools now and require a different starting jaw adaptor which is included in the kit.

This kit then contains angled jaws in various sizes up to 35 mm and allows for a press to be possible at 180º. This allows the user to press close to a wall and in a tight space that might not be possible with a normal press jaw.
