Just like the old ones
I've been threading pipe for over thirty years, and these dies are as good as the original ones I had. They cut smooth threads on schedule 40 steel with minimal effort. The alloy holds an edge well, and I've done about fifty joints so far. Definitely worth the price if you need dependable 1-inch dies.
