A compact 1-1/2 in machine for crews that thread small gas and water lines all day. The 300 does more for about the same money.

VEVOR 2300W Pipe Threader, 4 Dies
#10 in Hand-heldFull review
The same VEVOR drive with fewer dies, for small gas and water lines. Pay about $20 more for the 6-die kit if you might need 2 in.
