Ridgid 37825 Pipe Die, Pack of 4

The price of name-brand products is always higher than the knockoff ones, and these follow that rule. However, since I needed them to complete a set of Ridgid pipe dies, I decided to bite the bullet and go for them. They cut like expected, making a factory quality thread, so no complaints on performance, and they should last many years just like the prior ones did.

I am using a Ridgid 30-A pipe thread cutting tool. After breaking a die, I eagerly awaited these replacements. they fit in fine and looked similar, but upon reinstallation, it appeared as though they were a little close together for a 1/2" pipe to fit in there. The notches are on the cap to hold them in the correct position so I went on to try to cut threads on a pipe. After about 20 minutes of attempted cutting, I wasn't sure what was going on as the dies were cutting a straight taper on the pipe, not grabbing to cut threads. I pulled one out and compared it to an old one. It seemed ever so slightly different and I started to wonder if I received the wrong part. All numbers on the packaging and tool matched up so I reinstalled and tried again. Same result. Upon my next time pulling a die out to compare, I began to notice that the notch (which i originally though was shifted toward the outside on the new dies) was larger than on the old dies. I reinstalled the new dies again but left the screws loose, pushed the dies out as far as they would go, and started to turn the tool. Within 1/2 of a turn it grabbed and starting cutting threads. I snugged up the screws on the cap and continued until I had some beautiful looking threads. Summary: they may need a little fine tuning as far as placement when installing.

These teeth fit perfectly in my 50 yr old Rigid pipe die.Huge savings over buying a completely new die.
