Rating of the best klupps for 2022

A threaded pipe die is a small device that allows you to quickly and accurately 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 on any part.

What it is

The main purpose of the design is cutting pipes. 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 both for professional activities and for domestic needs. It is impossible to do without it when installing utility systems.

At its core, a klupp resembles a die (or as it is also called “lerka” by the people). The die consists of a cylindrical part of a small size, equipped with recesses for chip removal during work. The die still has special recesses on the entire perimeter of the circle. Inside are combs that are used to cut strips. A distinctive feature of the die from the die is the presence of cutters, which are attached by means of a special holder.

What are

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

View	Description
Manual	Compact. Designed to perform a small amount of work. Structural elements: handle and clamps. Cutting is carried out by means of a lerka. It has different cutting diameters. It weighs a little, the cost is acceptable. If the cutters wear out, the screw can be unscrewed and the cutting part replaced with a new one. They come with and without a handle. The handle can be a crocodile key.
Electric	Belongs to the professional category.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 in the presence of a mechanical drive. The average price is significant. It looks like a grinder.

Allocate one subspecies of a hand tool - with a ratchet. Equipped with a mechanism in a frame, which allows the master not to intercept the handle in the process of carving on a metal structure. The disadvantage is considered to be significant loudness during translational movements.

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 are produced without a handle. There is also no guide rail. It takes skill and experience to apply. The accuracy is negligible.
2. Options. Running are 1, ½, ¼, ¾ 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 is manual and mechanical. This affects the cost of products and dimensions.

Operating principle

Recommendations for application experts are as follows:

• the tube is fixed with a clamp;
• scale is removed from the end, then the area is lubricated with a special compound;
• a collar is fixed on it;
• the mechanism rotates with a certain force.

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

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

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

• as they wear out, change the elements that have become unusable;
• 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 part exceeds the mechanism in size, then strong friction and deformation of the cutters cannot be avoided.

What are these construction tools for?

The scope of the mechanism is diverse: heat supply, water supply, laying of sewer pipes, gas supply. In addition, the product is used in such cases:

1. If necessary, 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 a 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. Without a device, it is impossible to lay a sewer system.

Before applying the cut, it is necessary to clean the place of rust and paint. Klupp should fit freely in the space between the wall and 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 ranking of quality products. However, it is difficult to call them budget.They comply with the norms established at the legislative level. Manufacturers guarantee the quality of products, exercising control at all stages of production.

The domestic market is full of 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 is worth noting that imported popular models are of better quality. It is advisable to first consult with a specialist. 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 the repair.

Professional craftsmen advise purchasing products that come with interchangeable cutters. If there is no element change function, then you will soon 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, we can conclude that alloy steel will be the most suitable option.
