VEVOR Ratchet Pipe Threader Kit with 6 Dies, 1/4" NPT to 1-1/4" NPT Ratcheting Pipe Threading Tool, Portable Pipe Threader Set with Storage Case for Plumbing Installation and Repair

Does work well on brass nipples but I’mNot sure how well it’d be on steel pipe but I’ve no reason to suspect that it would be less functional on steel pipe.

I had no experience threading pipe but found success with this product. The instructions are clear and the die cut well enough (I only used the 3/4”). Ended up threading 3 pipe ends and all of them came out perfectly. Added lots of oil as I went. No doubt I could do a few more before the cutter starts wearing too much. I’m completely satisifed with how well this worked.

I needed to run a new gas line for a garage heater, which involved threading multiple sections of 1/2" and 3/4" black iron pipe, and decided to put this kit to the test.Right out of the case, the tool feels substantial. The dies snapped into the ratcheting head with a positive lock, and the reversing mechanism is simple and solid. I clamped a 3-foot section of pipe in my vise and got to work. Using a generous amount of dark cutting oil, the ratcheting action was smooth and provided excellent leverage, allowing me to apply steady, even pressure. It bit into the pipe immediately and started cutting clean, continuous spirals of metal. I backed it off a half-turn after every full rotation to clear the chips, as is standard practice. The process was demanding, as manual threading should be, but the tool handled the torque without any flexing or chatter.The most critical finding was the quality of the threads themselves. The high-speed steel dies are impressively sharp and well-machined. They produced clean, perfectly tapered NPT threads that were free of burrs or tears. I test-fit a black iron fitting onto each one, and they threaded on smoothly and tightened up perfectly after 3-4 turns, exactly what you want for a secure, leak-proof seal.

For the price it’s not bad for small projects. Make sure to oil while cutting and reverse often to break loose the cuttings.

It work the frist 2or 3 now the 3(4 die isn't so good
