Handheld power pipe threaders are compact to fit into tight spaces and lightweight to hold when cutting threads on pipe at jobsites, especially on pipe that's already installed. They also thread pipe that's secured in a pipe stand. Handheld threaders cut more quickly and uniformly than a manual pipe threader but more slowly than a pipe threading machine. These power pipe threaders rotate their die head around pipe, conduit, bolts, and rods to cut or repair external threads that mate with internal threads on fittings or fasteners. They are commonly used when installing new pipe or replacing damaged sections of pipe.
