      Michael Kindell the implication was if it's not welded its not pipe fitting. Anybody can cut pipe to length and weld it, real talent is needed to cut pipe to length, then thread, then fit pipe.

    I'm an Journeyman Pipefitter in the USA and, I this looks like some sort of primitive drilling tool to make a hole for an O-Let. In the USA we would simply poke a hole with an oxy cutting torch if your old school, or we would just drill the hole with an electric power drill. I've never seen any tool like this but it's my guess that it's a drilling tool
