This hand-held pipe thread machine can be used to cut both right and left-handed threads, making it ideal for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors. The versatile unit’s 12-R die-heads are capable of threading pipes ranging from 1/8 inch to 2 inches (3 mm to 50 mm) in diameter, threading bolts 1/4 inch to 1 inch (6 mm to 25 mm) and driving the 141 and 161 Geared Threaders for larger pipes ranging from 2-1/2 inches to 6 inches (60 mm to 150 mm) in diameter.
