[God mode restorations]

Just sitting here watching TV programme about restoring old cars in outback Australia. These two fellas stumble across a ghost town in the middle of nowhere and start browsing about in old barns. I had to quickly pause the TV as I spotted this...it looks to be a very large die holder. Big jobbie to....

For cutting threads on big gas pipes or similar? Think there was one for sale on here not long ago - possibly ratcheting.

Would hope it rachets or else your pipe would need to be quite high up for the length of those handles for leverage?

I’ve got a ridgid one the same. You can wind the dies in and out to get different sizes of pipe. It does not ratchet.

I bought it for a job and not used it since. Stands about 3-4’ across.
