Nice for a little while...,

"The threads were clean. But the tool could not stand up to the test for very long. I didn't even finish my first project with it before the handle cracked the ratchet head. I did return it for 85 percent of store credit though."

"The dies did not clear themselves of the cutting materials and caused damage to the threads when removing. The size of the cutting dies are not correct with the fittings on todays market"

They won't get you by,
July 31, 2008

"The cutting dimensions are in error about 0.01" per quarter inch , so for 1¼" pipe the error is about 0.05" – meaning, the pipe you cut threads on won't fit any commercially made fittings. You might be able to use these for aluminium or copper pipe because the threads will bend, but they aren’t really useful for typical black or galvanized steel that standard pipe is made from.
If you cut a lot of pipe for water or for gas, you’re just going to have to shell out the (much higher) cost for a commercial-grade die set"

"DIES DID NOT CUT THREADS PROPERLY. THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON FITTINGS FROM VARIOUS SUPPLIERS.
THIS ITEM WAS RETURNED TO YOU AND A CREDIT WAS ISSUED."

Good value for occasional use...,
January 21, 2008
By ccrider
from Austin, Texas

"I bought this unit to thread 3/4" and 1/2" pipe for air lines in my garage. I don't intend to use it all the time, and don't expect it to hold up to heavy use, so the price seemed pretty reasonable. Especially considering threaders make a big jump in price after this one!
The unit works fine, although the dies on the 3/4" are starting to get dull, which causes the threads to 'tear'. I tried sharpening the dies with a stone, which helped a bit, but if you're doing much threading, a set of replacement dies is probably in your future.
Overall quality is typical of any 'offshore' tool, and the stories of defects reflect that: I wouldn't put it up against Ridgid or other big name brand. But the price reflects that: if I was making my living threading pipe though, I'd skip this one, but for what you pay, it does the job pretty well.

pipe threader,
December 12, 2007
By Sam01
from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
|
"The first die I used was for 1/2 inch pipe. It started real easy. I used heavy duty cutting oil. I was half way through and it started turning REAL hard, then the pieces of the die holder started falling out.
Put me down as NOT impressed!"

6 die pipe threader,
October 31, 2007
By buckshot
from West Virginia
|
"I thought the set looked good, but the first time I tried to use it one thread cutter fell out. So I but it back in place and tried to use it again. This time it made about two turns and the whole side broke out. After looking closer I found the screws that held the thread cutters in were stiped from the factory."

for a pipe threader. I found this product to preform far above my expections and
would recommend this product to anyone looking for a pipe threader."
