You realize that you're supposed to thread with the pony facing the other way. that's why they designed one side to be a lot flatter than the other. That way you can get a lot of clearance when you're threading a shorter piece of pipe Plus why would you want to put the threads on a piece of pipe with the pony facing left? It's easier to lean your body weight down instead of pulling up to avoid the resistance while it's cutting?
Not only that it's flat dangerous to thread that way. I've made hundreds of threads with a 700 and if it binds it'll throw your ass. If it binds and you're using it like this genius you're gonna have a wrestling match with that tripod.
@@asbestosfibers1325 That's why the Milwaukee shuts off if it gains too much angle. You're NOT supposed to pull with a threader, that's how you flip a vise. Ask me how I know. Your bodyweight is definitely enough to hold the threader down, if it isn't you need new dies/teeth. I've personally threaded tons of ¾"- 2" rigid (and ocal) nipples. I only weigh 150 soaking wet. The Milwaukee threader even comes with a bitch bar to hold itself on bigger conduits. Go to an actual jobsite and thread upside down, you'd have every tradesman giggling in their boots. I "GUARUNTEE" it. 💀
I've only ever threaded rmc. How does imc compare in difficulty for the dies to thread? I cant imagine this being a good idea for threading at a large job. Even those jobs we avoid the pony for. And set up the rigid all in 1 cart.
On large projects we have a 300 on hand for a majority of the work load. This would take the place of a pony while filling in when the 300 is being used or if you didn't want to change a die head out.
The "offset head" is not an offset head. You have the die inserted on the wrong side. Yes, it works. BUT... Milwaukee designed the threader to be flat on that "offset" to allow you to thread closer to a bulkhead or floor.
It's cool but you can only make a threader so portable, if I'm setting up the pony the oiler and all my pipe an extension cord isn't that big of a deal.
I see this more for the jobs and contractors who aren't going to be setting up everything, everytime. When you are using a bumper or hitch vise, and maybe only need a dozen threads. Perhaps traveling maintenance or fuel contractors. Do be doubtful though. If power is scarce, it'll thread with a pony as long as you've got a battery. 👍
@@completelycordless8138 i agree and sometimes as the job site progresses rapidly and the people running the job make us move our shit all the time the cordless option is nice or if you have to go to a remote area of the job where there is not power readily available ......cords are annoying in every way shape or form imo but i still think a regular corded rigid pony is the best option for a long term stationary threading area.......i wish my company would buy these but they wont =[
The cordless might be better on 1/2” and 3/4” pipes. But the real money is in 1” to 2” Pipe.....and even more money is up in the 4” Pipe, if that cordless can run a hog head all day long!....Thanks for the video. Very interesting
If you ever work on a 5 story appartment complex doing rough plumbing running cords , fighting all other trades at the spider box.. flicking breakers left and right you would understand the struggle.

You dam right buddy, the on portable electric pipe threader you go from right to left..
I suspect the guy uploading videos to youtube isn't an actual tradesman
Imagine the guy who is operating the two machines flipping over the tri stand due to not having any support arm.😆😄
But will it last 20 plus years??? Doubtful it’s nice and all but I trust the old rigid 700 over the Milwaukee in terms of reliability
It will, you won't if you continue work with dinosaurs.
I install a ton of fire pits and gas grills so for me this is fuck*ng awesome!
DEFINITELY BUYING IT!
THUMBS UP!
What are your thoughts 3 years later?
I've only ever threaded rmc. How does imc compare in difficulty for the dies to thread?

@@completelycordless8138 makes perfect sense.
The "offset head" is not an offset head. You have the die inserted on the wrong side.
Yes, it works. BUT...
Milwaukee designed the threader to be flat on that "offset" to allow you to thread closer to a bulkhead or floor.
Does the Milwaukee use the same dies and would it work with a hog head?
Yes it uses the "industry standard" Ridgid and Reed dies. I haven't had the opportunity to use it with a hogs head yet, but I believe it will, yes.
COMPLETELY CORDLESS Thanks for the info that certainly makes this an awesome option. It’s amazing how quick cordless technology is advancing
Anyone having issue with the case cracking/ blowing out? Is the magnesium case too weak? Or a design/manufacturing defects.

Can these thread bolts?
Bolts usually have a different thread pitch or count
The Milwaukee accepts 12-R dies. If you have 12-R bolt threading heads, yes, it will thread bolts.

Use a hogs head on anything larger than 2”.... or better yet, measure it right and use a 1224 to thread...
@@anthonyjohnson4751 I totally agree but now you're talking a whole new ball game. Ridgid 1224's aren't cheap!
I just dont see the point of a batteries on a stationary platform like pipe cutting. Unless your doing in situ

Ditto what Tactical said, AND I would add, some job sites have no power source, and running a generator can be costly.
its quicker for now until that battery gets worn...lol
I'll take the dewalt threader
