Central Machinery 5pc. Ratcheting pipe threader (how to)

in this non-sponsored video I talk about how to properly use harbor freights Central machinery 1/2"-1" 5 piece ratcheting pipe threader set, who this might be for and some potential projects.

Exactly the information I was wanting without a ton of extraneous gabbing. Thanks so much for this vid!

Looks good. More elbow grease than I had thought it would be, I guess this is why powered threaders cost $1500 or something.

I was wondering how hard to make 1/2 thread on a pipe about 12" in the ground. I guess you would have to make sure that you hold the pipe down good (even though its tight with hard dirt- but I would think it might twist with all that torque and cause damage to another coupling down the line) Maybe I am wrong but that is my thought.

Thanks for the demo on the manual threader.

Go on the other side to use body weight & gravity when you ratchet.

Always break the chips. Go around about a half turn cutting, reverse that pin and come back a half turn, or more, until the chips are broken. The go forward again, rinse, repeat until you're at the end of the thread cutter.

Hope this threader is more than Northern Tool version.
