4 things... 1. The ridged power drive is a multiple use tool for many Ridgid tools, including a roll cutter for mid bore pipe sizes. 2. your using Ridgid dies in their tool! 3. Threading oil will eventually melt the rubber overmolding on the tool. 4. The Ridgid power drive does not have a clutch because it is a pro tool not a prosumer tool.
Just so you know, it's not a clutch that stops it from ripping out of your hands. I wouldn't want anyone to be misinformed. It's called an "e-clutch" because it's an electronic component that works like a clutch. It has an accelerometer on the circuit board that senses an abrupt movement of the tool and turns of the motor. That has nothing to do with being a industrial, commercial, pro, prosumer, or consumer grade tool.
What do you think about next year calling it "Annual VCG Invitational Milwaukee Tent Sale Extravaganza at THE Ohio Power Tool" we've got a little time to iron it out. Hopefully the hashtag #AVCGIMTSETOPT won't be taken before then.
Yes he's using a Ridgid die all while talking shit about Ridgid in the title. Clearly has no idea what he's doing/talking about. Probably why he had the rep do all the talking.
@@brockspencer5949 He mentioned last time he used it, that it takes Ridgid heads. But what does it using Ridgid heads have to do with whether it's better than the Ridgid tool? The dies are a small portion of the tool. It can be better or worse than the Ridgid, regardless of who makes the dies.
@@xenonram Ridgid doesn't even make a cordless threader. There isn't even a comparison to be made. It's just consistent with the BS click bait title that this channel was built on. Lousy content, all caps titles.
Brock Spencer Just didn’t seem real clear. Got lots of Ridgid die heads already, wouldn’t want to buy new ones just for that. Can see some uses for it, warehouses with really long cord runs. Get along ok without it. Lol.
@@johnt7502 absolutely. I've ran into one instance in particular where it would have been super handy where I needed to thread some pipe on a backup generator install. We had the power to the house turned off so I had to go to the shop. Eric from Mechanical Hub really likes his and I think it would be a cool tool to have but don't understand where they get this making Ridgid look bad? You have to have 3 tools now to cut, reem and thread your pipe versus an all in one Ridgid system that you have to run a cord for.
We used a ridged 700 to do 3/4” & 1” water service taps on ductile water Main pipe with a mueller B 101 direct tap machine . Wonder how that unit would do ?
Ok. This has nothing to do with this video but we are in a bind. I'm in California and they are talking about cutting power to our area again. I'm needing a good portable generator for the basics (fridge, heater, couple of lights) for the house. Budget is around $700. Thank you all.
GTFO of California. That is a sinking ship that is going down fast, and is going to take everyone in the state with it. I hope you can get the funds together to get out. I wish you all the luck. Stay safe.
Notice that even Milwaukee doesn't use their $500 tri stand. ($600 if you want the tool stand under it) Kind of funny you would think they could get their own product cheaper than a Rockwell Jawhorse. Yes a Ridgid Tristand is $435 but it is made in the US. If you don't care where it is made you can get a Chinese knockoff tristand for $160. I think Milwaukee would have had an easier sell on this stuff if they had made their threader compatible with Ridgid dies. Looks like the Milwuakee dies are made of aluminum and made in China. I would be concerned about longevity before I invested in their system.
Who uses black iron anymore? I haven't used my old Ridgid threader in years. It's a good thing that rep gave you PPE. His nipples almost put your eye out. :)
It's used for threading any pipe. Black pipe is also used in commercial a lot. In fact, we just had a new parking garage built and all of the pipes are black iron.
Some people are still old school and won't trade the old methods for the new. I get it, some folks still frown on propress. I have few contractors that let me press and a few that want me to thread. Me personally i like both methods.
what's going on Vince by the way your comment got me in a little bit of trouble about your wife my girlfriend want to know why somebody saying that I love you someone else's wife she really doesn't understand jokes I said the community we love the community but question you ever think about posting comments about ridiculous questions homeowners ask contractors I had someone ask me I'm swamped as it is but I could always sub out work but she wanted to know if I could do some interior demo she wanted to know if I would give her a better price if I used her husband's tools which consisted of a wooden handle hammer couple of pry bars a screwdriver that's what I saw 08 corded screw gun prefer give a discount price I swear to God somebody asked me today where do people come up with this
What did you just say? Did you ever think about proofreading tour gibberish before you post it? Maybe you think it sounds alright, since it's in your head, but without a single period, it sounds like an idiot wrote it.
You're clueless on this one Vince. You're using a Ridgid die first off, and you don't know any of the real benefits of the tool. Stick to impact comparisons.
That Milwaukee threading machine is almost as big as the guy threading the pipe. Looks a little heavy for him as well. He’s putting all his back into it when he’s lifting it...smh
You boys would do well if you looked at the Ridgid model 270. Scrap this hand held idea, mount a locking pipe clamp and use hand cutters and threaders. This is so stooooopid.
When is threading pipe a 2 man job??
🤷🏽♂️
Whenever it’s 3 inch and up rigid conduit
When my 2 apprentices are moving the threader and vice out the truck to the roof.
Yo Vin I thought you got some new glasses for a minute then you gave them back... should’ve ran off with them!!
Nice! Thx for sharing
Hope everyone is having a good evening! Keep those videos coming! Good job! 🧰⚙️🔩🛠🔧⛏⚒🧰
Great video
Thanks Jake we appreciate it!
Do they have dies for OCAL or ROBROY conduit?
I don’t think they have any dies. You still have to use ridge
Tony f Ridgid makes the ocal or Robroy dies for their Ridgid 700 machine. They are the grey colored dies

Dewalt has one coming out as well. Pretty innovative tool
Lol, who?

Sounds good to us, we always love coming to the brick and mortar store! Wish Ohio was closer!!
Do the Ridgid heads fit?

can u use the Ridgid dies or does Milwaukee have their own and only those fit ?
This uses ridgid dies
12R dies
Great video vince
Vince you look like Toad from the X-Men with those glasses
Have had nothing but issues with this tool.. I went back to the ridgid 300
What was wrong with it
Not sure but ate the 3/4 teeth on 2 dye’s
@@ac-mech1265 China dies, USA only son
Sounds more like a die issue than a tool issue.

Try costco
Harbor freight generators (Predator) are affordable and dependable. Also look for coupons on the harbor freight website.

@@amoscardoza5253 my thoughts exactly, their inverters are really nice and quiet. Also the WEN from home depot is good and affordable
Onekey schmonkey, thanks Vince!
Oh hell no always start in high speed
Cool but you have to buy an extra tool to cut the pipe. I think they really messed up in that way
Anyone having issue with the case blowing out?
Would Milwaukee come out with their own set of die heads that may work better with this threader
It uses the Ridgid 12R dies
Milwaukee needs to adopt the find my network for their tools now that they are open to third party
Need to get somebody on that donkey that knows how to ride it!
Hey gang
👍👍👍
Notice that even Milwaukee doesn't use their $500 tri stand. ($600 if you want the tool stand under it)

Let those does wear in and see how frustrated you get with starting in low speed
Propress is future even for gas. Get job done 2x as fast to collect the chee$e
Did you get to see my new Milwaukee tools video yet!?? th-cam.com/video/UoDCRecveoM/w-d-xo.html
Who uses black iron anymore? I haven't used my old Ridgid threader in years. It's a good thing that rep gave you PPE. His nipples almost put your eye out. :)
Its used in the oilfield all day every day.
It's used for threading any pipe. Black pipe is also used in commercial a lot. In fact, we just had a new parking garage built and all of the pipes are black iron.
Wrong oil you pipe threading oil not spray teeth will burn and break
Great and all but why would anyone buy this over a pro press? Seems like a waste of money
Some people are still old school and won't trade the old methods for the new. I get it, some folks still frown on propress. I have few contractors that let me press and a few that want me to thread. Me personally i like both methods.

Oh, @RB is not going to like this one
First

Scrap this hand held idea, mount a locking pipe clamp and use hand cutters and threaders.
This is so stooooopid.
