How It Works
Choose the Size: The set comes with interchangeable cutting heads (dies) for different pipe thicknesses (such as 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4")
Mount the Head: The correct die size is locked into the main ratchet handle.
Turn the Handle: The tool is placed over the end of a clean pipe and turned using the long handle. The built-in ratchet mechanism allows you to pump the handle back and forth without taking the tool off the pipe, which makes the work much easier in tight spaces
