Impact Threader

[Sintra]

Any of you tried the new threaders for 20 & 25 mm galv conduit that fits on to an impact driver?

Looks nice and quick and easy, but also looks like it's going to severely shorten the lifespan of a battery impact driver.

No but That looks like it may be worth a purchase, could have done with that last year, I had 150 lengths of the bugger to install and thread by hand.

Whaaaat ? You didn't hire an electric threader for a job of that size ? I bet your arms looked just like your avatar's when you'd finished.

I did think about hiring one but it was summertime so it was a nice outside job.

why would a gorilla need electric threader when his finger pressure is >200 psi?

Have seen these at Elex you need an impact driver and more likely an impact wrench with some serious grunt for the 25mm threader

RIP impact driver

One of these would probably drive it Ingersoll-Rand W7150EU-K22 1/2" IQv20v Cordless High Torque Impactool certainly got a decent amount of torque

I have one of these, this exact model I think.

Does the job because it's made for the job.

Don't mind me while I bump some old threads. Just doing the rounds. Ignore the thread if it's not current topic, it'll soon drop off the list, but if the thread interests you, feel free to reply.

I know this is an old thread but thought I'd comment in case anyone was curious.

I've recently started using steel conduit so thought I'd try out this accessory and tbf it's quite good, does exactly what you'd expect it to do. Although I still have a set of stock and dies, it was really cold a few days back so decided to use this as opposed to doing it manually. Not sure I'd use it all the time, just get a feeling it somehow shortens the life of the impact driver (I may be wrong though)

Does this take standard dies or are they special?

It comes with one set of 20mm, a one set of 25mm, they look like standard dies tbh.
