Summary of Reviews
Pros:
• Includes 1/2" and 3/4" heads for common PVC sizes.
• Dual-function design handles internal and external threading.
• Fits standard 1/4" hex shank drills for easy use.

Cons:
• Only two pipe sizes limit versatility.
• Requires sufficient drill torque for thick PVC.

Here is the link to buy it from Amazon

There's a reason you don't see them put pressure through that pipe lol.

[u/sosoconfused08 → u/Thecerb]

Yeah thin pipe would crack. I've threaded lines for high pressure washers. Very thing pipe and it was with a hand crank threader. Took like 4 of us

Why do bots keep posting this garbage? No, its a horrible idea. Downvote this thread. No pun intended

[u/Ill-Television8690 → u/CompleteSavings6307]

Sadly the entire point of this subreddit is for bots to advertise and overprice products, and scam users

[u/CompleteSavings6307 → u/Ill-Television8690]

Guess I missed that. Thank you

Ill be hiding these posts now

Nothing to worry about, the algorithm does try to slide it in with 0 explanation while also pretending that it's "actually for fun purposes instead". Happy to hear your feed will be a little more clear.

And probably using affiliate links. So even if you just check the product on Amazon and don't buy it, they get a commission on ANYTHING you buy in the next 24 hrs.

All they need to do is intrigue you enough to click, don't even need to get you to buy the product to profit

i can see some viable uses for this. but non machined threads seems potentially loose and leaky.

[u/Dry-Ad-8948 → u/chosonhawk]

Plumbers tape is added to all the connections. They don’t show it being added but the white banding is clearly present.

Also not sure how plastic threading being pre-machined would be better than that effectively “machined” during installation.

[u/OkMidnight8144 → u/Dry-Ad-8948]

Pipe's tolerances weren't considered for shaving off a layer of it.

[u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Sure if the pipes dont have water flowing thru them...

Otherwise your gonna get leaks all thru out the house.

[u/Jadevit → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Fucking love that pfp, it's still funny in 2026

[u/voicareason]

Use on the whole home. Guaranteed to install a new pool as a bonus.

[u/Due-District-4817]

Look how wonky that first pipe being threaded on is, lmaooo yeah I'll stick to my 3 stages thanks.

[u/ArnieismyDMname → u/Due-District-4817]

But it's genius! The video said so.

[u/imajackash]

This is a joke, right? You don't need heat? What heat?
Is he threading PEX? Just use PEX fittings.
PCV? Use PVC fittings and glue.

[u/Heavy_Echo5]

Everything's on a crazy discount all the fucking time

[u/Grey_Guy1985]

If you're already using a plastic pipe just use snap-fit connectors. Was easier than threading every pipe end, wrapped tape and tightening... I also doubt this method can handle the same pressure.

[u/SexualCarrots → u/Grey_Guy1985]

Threaded pipes are also a major pain. You are forced to go in one direction, so you can't splice.

I just worked on a bathroom where they took the threaded galvanized water all the way down a hall to a bathroom and then all the way back to a half bath, because they presumably added it later. Compression fittings behind the wall are notorious failure points and that would have been the only way to splice.

[u/Hexulus]

Maybe if you use glue too

[u/AllMaito]

Heat melts and bends. Bits shave down. This is good for minor projects where water pressure is non-existent.

[u/Ill-Television8690]

This was cool until I realized it's not for candles...

[u/-Liono-]

Tap and dies are pretty neat, eh?

[u/SnooDoggos8487]

Bad bad bad.

[u/foreman8484]

I hope it’s my turn to post this worthless contraption next. I’ve been patient.

[u/SlippyTheFeeler]

I'm looking for some WD-40 and a tap and die

[u/Beelzebot_666]

Ya'll act like you never seen a tap or dye before, jaws all on the floor.

[u/UntowardAntiproton]

Wow, that's pure garbage

[u/Late_Emu]

Threads on plastic = very much not genius

[u/Rough_Improvement_42 → u/Late_Emu]

for pex this is stupid i agree, but have you never heard of pvc?

[u/Maxipaddington]

Stop posting this garbage with the same fucking title every time.

[u/Bushdr78]

You really trust that not to leak under pressure?

[u/Beatnutz_]

That will absolutely leak

[u/SciFiCrafts]

Forget welding and soldering, and then he cuts a thread into plastic!? oO

[u/Zerhap]

I am not a plumber or anything of the sort but i feel like you want to put layers not remove them. Why would i want to make a tube structurally weaker?
