Good material and good price

Use them a lot at work surprised they still holding up

Arrived as expected

So far so good. It fits and threaded what I needed

Issues in my machine. I bought these dies for my rigid 811A die head. They work but when the cutting lever is thrown open it will not re close without messing with the cutter. I was at a remote site, and stuck. To get them working I ultimately ground a radius in the cutter slot like the rigid dies. I might spend full price next time for a rigid set.

I’ve been using this 1/2"-3/4" NPT universal die for a few weeks, and it’s been great for cleaning up old threads on pipe fittings. The hardened steel construction makes it durable and effective. It fits well with my RIDGID die stock, and the cutting action is smooth. Just be sure to use plenty of cutting oil to keep things running cool and extend the life of the die.

These Staten Tools pipe dies are the real deal. I was initially drawn to them because of the hardened steel construction, and I'm seriously impressed. These things feel incredibly sturdy and robust. You can tell they're built to withstand a lot of use. I've been putting them through their paces on some challenging projects, and they haven't let me down once. The threads they cut are consistently clean and precise, which is exactly what I need. I'm confident these dies will be a valuable addition to my toolbox for years to come. I'm particularly impressed with the quality of the tool steel used to make these dies. They're incredibly sharp and hold their edge exceptionally well. I've used other dies in the past that quickly dulled, but these seem to maintain their cutting power even after extended use. If you're looking for a set of high-quality pipe dies that can handle the demands of any job, I highly recommend giving these a try.
