Pullstart 64,840 #1 Posted March 10 I don’t know the answer, but my first inclination is a tap handle. The ends are threaded for pipe “handles”, but what gets me is the thumb set screw on the back. What would it be for? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parsonsponyz 170 #9 Posted March 10 You put the pipe in the threaded ends then place the die in the middle and thumb screw holds that in place. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 64,840 #12 Posted March 10 I figured the die sat in the square space a bit higher. I see now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
