Harbor Freight Hand Pipe Threader Review

Good Opportunity today to do a quick review of the Harbor Freight Hand Pipe Threader on 1" black steel pipe. First I use the professional Ridgid Hand Threader so you can see the threads to compare the Harbor Freight threads too.
Note that I used WD40 as a lubricant and Heat displacement for these two threads. If I was doing more then just one thread with the Threader I would normally use cutting thread oil amd definitely recommend you use cutting oil for all Pipe threading. WD40 can be used however not great for longevity of your Dies as it does not displace the heat as well as cutting oil.

Normally would use cutting oil if I was doing more then just 1 thread with the tool. Wd40 works in a pinch however cutting oil is what you need to protect the die teeth from overheating. We all know WD40 is not technically a lubricant. However will work as a lubricant for short term uses.

I honestly wish more reviews were real world like this. Thank you, thank you again about the threads needing to be 3 1/2 turns out. I just bought my first house and need to fix the previous owners best intentions.
