Rating of the best klupps for 2020

A pipe threading die is a small device that allows you to quickly and efficiently make external threads on pipes. Not everyone uses such a simple tool, although no one disputes its ease of use. The tool is able to apply stripes to any part.

What it is

The main purpose of the structure is pipe cutting. Moreover, the functionality makes it possible not only to make a new cut, but also to put the old one in order (restore or repair). Working with the product does not require special knowledge and training. It is purchased for both professional activities and household needs. You cannot do without it when installing communal systems.

At its core, the klupp resembles a die (or as it is also popularly called "lerka"). The die consists of a small cylindrical part, equipped with recesses for removing chips during work. The die still has special recesses along the entire perimeter of the circle. Inside are combs that are used to cut strips. A distinctive feature of the die is the presence of incisors, which are attached by means of a special holder.

What are

Based on the scope of application, the following types of mechanisms are distinguished:

View	Description
Manual	Compact. Designed to perform a small amount of work. Structural elements: handle and clamps. Slicing is carried out by means of a stick. Has different cutting diameters. It weighs a little, the cost is acceptable. If the cutters are worn out, the screw can be unscrewed and the cutting part replaced with a new one. Available with or without a handle. The handle can be a crocodile key.
Electric	Belongs to the category of professional. Used for business purposes. Does not require the use of serious physical force. Suitable for working in hard-to-reach areas. Afraid of bad weather and open areas. Completely useless where there is no power supply. It differs from the previous version by the presence of a mechanical drive. The average price is substantial. Outwardly, it resembles a Bulgarian.

There is one subspecies of hand tools - with a ratchet. It is equipped with a mechanism in a frame, which allows the craftsman not to intercept the handle while carving on a metal structure. A disadvantage is considered to be a significant volume during movements of the forward type.

Specifications

What should you pay attention to in order to avoid mistakes when choosing? According to buyers, the main selection criteria are:

1. Device dimensions.The ability to use the mechanism in certain areas depends on them. The smallest popular models come without a handle. There is also no guide clamp. To apply, you need skill and some experience. The accuracy is negligible.
2. Parameters. The running gear is 1, ½, ¾, Ход inches. The best manufacturers have launched the production of universal-type models with adjustable distance between the cutting elements.
3. Weight. With the same diameters, the weight can vary significantly. There are products weighing 650 grams and two kilograms.
4. Type of drive. It can be manual and mechanical. This affects product costs and dimensions.

Operating principle

The recommendations of application specialists are as follows:

• the tube is fixed with a clamp;
• scale is peeled off from the end, then the area is lubricated with a special compound;
• a knob is fixed on it;
• the mechanism rotates with a certain effort.

Cutting can be metric and inch. The values ​​of the first are indicated in millimeters, the second in inches. If the step is different, then letters are added to the numbers. The angle of application is 60 degrees. In inch dimensions, the angle is 55 degrees.

For cutting strips, a die is used on the outside, a tap inside.

In order for the tool to serve for a long time, you should heed the following advice from professional craftsmen:

• as they wear out, change worn-out elements;
• regularly lubricate the tool;
• choose the right product based on the parameters of the part on which the strip is supposed to be applied. If the size of the part exceeds the mechanism, then strong friction and deformation of the cutters cannot be avoided.

What are these building tools for?

The areas of application of the mechanism are various: heat supply, water supply, laying of sewer pipes, gas supply. In addition, the product is used in such cases:

1. If the need arises, build prefabricated structures: light stairs, greenhouses, gazebos, and so on.
2. When installing a heating system, when you need to connect metal and polypropylene elements.
3. When laying the water supply network. The tool will help to make cuts on cast iron, copper and metal products, including those made of stainless steel.
4. An integral device for drilling wells and wells.
5. It is impossible to lay the sewer system without a device.

Before cutting, it is necessary to clean the area of ​​rust and paint. Klupp should fit freely in the space between the wall and the pipes. The elements are cut off with a grinder after careful marking.

How to choose

Which one is better to buy depends on many factors. The best ones lead the rating of quality products. However, it is difficult to call them budget. They meet the standards established at the legislative level. Manufacturers guarantee the quality of products by exercising control at all stages of production.

The domestic market is overflowing with products of both Russian and foreign design, which differ in function, material of manufacture, equipment, thread diameter. Which company is better, everyone determines for himself. But it should be noted that imported popular models are of higher quality. It is advisable to consult with a specialist in advance. Buying the cheapest option at an unverified outlet is not the right decision. The product may be of poor quality and will not help you with repairs.

Professional craftsmen advise you to purchase products that come with replaceable cutters. If there is no function for changing elements, then soon you will have to buy a new tool. When choosing a die for cutting, it is worth taking into account the material of the workpiece and the material that was used to make the cutters. If we conduct a review of user reviews of this type of product, then we can conclude that alloy steel would be the most suitable option.
