What's that load of junk doing in such a lice looking neighborhood?!!!

Paul

It is not junk, it is Ridgid plumbing tools and a Schmidt sand blasting pot.

I have one of those Rigid size selectable ratcheting pipe threaders, It's pretty nice. Be sure to keep a good one with sharp dies for yourself. They don't take up much space with the handle detached, I actually use the handle from my EMT bender.

Can I use these heads with an electric pipe threader, like RIdgid 300?

And, can I use one with my Clausing lathe? Or is the grip of the chuck now enough?

I don't think it would be a good idea to try to power a manual threader like that. Pipe threads aren't that long and it doesn't take that long to complete a thread. Unless you have some need to thread quite a few sections of pipe in a short time the manual ratchet will do fine. Besides, it's exercise, unlike sitting in front of a computer all day.

Above mentioned sand blasting pot just sold for $1,000 cash

I need to eat less, also.

Yes, I'm trying to do the same as well as trying to get more exercise.

Wow!

Ig found a real nice sucker to pay higher-than-retail, huh?

Not at all.

This is the sandblaster I sold:

This sandblaster was likely worth more than what I sold it for, which is not smoething that bothers me.

I was never into "finding a sucker" and prefer to sell something quickly and to pass on some part of a good deal that I get.

OMFG! How in gawd's name can they sell those simple machines for that kind of price? I scanned Amazon for "sandblasting" and found the highest price $999.

I just thought you got a seller's deal on it and wasn't trying to diss ya, Ig. (I only do that during politics due to your choices.)

I do not get it myself.

To me, this tank looks like a simple weldment with a few piloted valves added and a hose with a nozzle.

And yet, it is worth what it is worth and a lot of people want those sandblasters and are ready to pay.

Mine was, indeed, in a barely used condition, so I am not surprised that someone wanted to buy it to make money from day 1.

I know. I think that you are a great guy etc.

That was great, indeed, but things that good are kind of rare and I am expecting some kind of a Karma Punishment.

I expect it's because it's a true industrial grade unit, not light commercial.

I think so, as well. It is built like a tank and weighs over 300 lbs.

Just wanted to add something. I brought home a bunch of pipe wrenches, of which I intended to sell most of them. Then I had to disassemble the compressor that I am converting to a grill, and I was damn glad that I had those 36" wrenches, chain wrenches, etc. So, I decided, I will keep all of them -- two 36" pipe wrenches and two 36" chain pipe wrenches. I may even go back and get some more odd shaped pipe wrenches.

I do not need that stuff, until I need it, and then it is too late.

I will also keep the 2" pipe tap, just in case, but not the bigger taps.

Tools take up space, until you need them, then they are invaluable. You might want to consider up to 3" taps, since some generator engine exhausts you might play with get that big.

You are quite right, actually. I forgot all about engine exhausts. My own generator's exhaust is pipe threaded.
