Won't go through heavy use, just for bits and bobs for airline piping and fluid transfer...

Nothing wrong with the idea ,silverline are £29 ,at that price got to wonder what the quality is like ,maybe worth a go if there's a 1year warranty

Looks like cheap tat to me , a rip off of a rothenberger set .
A good quality set by rems or rothenberger etc would be £ 200 +

Alright for a few threads now and again i suppose

Myself i have a quality rems powered set

cheers mike

I want one for 20mm and 25mm conduit but there silly money and rare

 

[Omniata]

Just buy a tap and die for conduit, should be easy to turn by hand, lol...

 

[Mikey D]

MK Rems do powered ones for conduit , is that what you mean ? they do do promotions ocassionaly on the new stuff ...... still spensive tho

cheers mike

Or one of these rems ones but not rems dies ...

Worth it???

 

[madkayaker]

just being lazy use stock and die easy enough.

 

[Omniata]

I can't seem to get the threads on the ends of pipe straight though with a normal die

 

[madkayaker]

they have a guide on them witch is a pain if your to close to a bend. The best method is to keep it long and start the thread then take guide of and keep going then cut to length

Aye you cant beat a Ridgid tool

Yes good stuff ridgid (american) worth a bid , need a 110v transformer if you dont have one tho 3kva .

 

[madkayaker]

I have a 3.3Kva and a 6.5Kva very heavy

Havent threaded conduit in years but dont remember it bein that hard, you must be getting lazy mk

 

[madkayaker]

25mm can be a pain as the die doesn't have much of a leed in. Stainless is a pain to thread

1½" gives your arms a good work out - probably a bit before your time MK

Mmmmhhhhh threading 2" barrel by hand is torture, iv got a hand ratchet set some ware, other than a rigid, screw cutting in the lathe is my preferred method, no actually I much prefer working everything lose to the Unions and TIGin the whole Assembly together.......

I've come across 32mm conduit but never installed it. Yanks use 6in!
