Description

A steel die or threading tool to cut threads into large pipes. It consists of a central housing painted green with red accents, with a long rod out either side for turning the housing around a pipe. On top of the housing is a ring with a "2" stamped into it. A "3" is stamped to the top of the central housing. At the bottom of the housing are two metal pieces that form the die, which are held in place by two different red bolts each.
