Pullstart 63,839 #1 Posted Monday at 11:46 AM I don’t know the answer, but my first inclination is a tap handle. The ends are threaded for pipe “handles”, but what gets me is the thumb set screw on the back. What would it be for? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would provide the pipes for handles. Edited Monday at 12:17 PM by 953 nut 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parsonsponyz 150 #9 Posted Monday at 02:22 PM You put the pipe in the threaded ends then place the die in the middle and thumb screw holds that in place. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 57,034 #11 Posted Monday at 07:25 PM 5 hours ago, Pullstart said: What’s the thumb screw on the back for? It keeps the round die from spinning inside the unit, sets down in the opening in the die. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,839 #12 Posted Monday at 08:27 PM I figured the die sat in the square space a bit higher. I see now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
