Excellent die head
I used this with my RIDGID 700 and it made clean, precise threads on plastic-coated pipe. The factory-set dies are spot on. It's easy to attach and use. Definitely worth the money.

Great for the job
My husband is a plumber and he requested this. He was very happy with it. It cuts threads easily and doesn't strip the plastic coating. Very satisfied.
