Ridgid 3/8 In. to 1 In. Pipe Threader 36355

Very pleased, question: can or has anyone ever put the dies in the opposite direction? I have a situation where the pipe I am threading has an obstacle not allowing threader to complete its cut completely.

I've only used it for 8 threadings so far. The smoothness of motion compared to the cheap set I had previously indicated that there was much more precision in the Ridgid unit. I use Mystic Metal Mover when I use taps & dies and it works good with these dies as well. Don't buy the cheap knock off pipe threaders (the casting breaks) after about 3-12 uses negating warranty replacements often. Buy Ridgid first and be done.
