I bought one last week ... going to return it this week after cutting a
single 1/2" thread with it.  The die teeth are miscut or not sharp or
something, so it took an enormous amount of force to turn the die; and the
ratchet was not up to the task.  It now slips badly.

But as usual with HF, their quality control is non-existent, so possibly I
just got a bad one.  Next one might be OK.
