Looking for Hand Pipe Threader

[Beowulf]

Any one recommendations for a hand pipe threader? I see some inexpensive ones on Amazon. I plan on doing 20-50 threads and don't want to pay someone and want to be able to cut and thread on the spot and possible cut and rethread when needed.

A Ridgid hand threader and die head is worth the price they charge for them.

You'll also need a pipe vise and a bottle of high sulfur threading oil.

What size of pipe?

They are pretty common on CL in my neck of the woods, 50 to 100 dollars.
I would think an ordinary vise with pipe jaws should suffice if there's enough space for the pipe stick.

The vast majority will be 3/4". A few will be 1/2" and then there will about 8 threads on 1.5".

Don't go the Happy Fart alternative - They last about 3 pieces before they are too dull to use

Lol... agree on that!

I have an old Craftsman set that is 1/4" to 1" that I have not used in about 30 years that I could loan or sell if you are in Ohio.

I also have an old Craftsman set that is 1/4" to 1" that I have not used in 30 plus years that I could loan or sell if you are in Connecticut near the border of Massachusetts. I live about 15 minutes from the Interstate 84 and the Massachusetts Turnpike interchange.

Are you near Mesa, AZ? I have a barely used Ridgid set that you could borrow.

Does anyone know if there's a way to search GJ for members in a geographic area?
