Yeah, I'd think that's fine. The big problem is that they're slow.
And they don't work very fast. And it takes a long time to cut
threads. And it's from HF, so I'd bet the die isn't very good. And
it's slow. Did I mention it's slow to use one of these?
The last time I put a bunch of pipe in, we had the full pieces
threaded, and the cuts we knew we could make in advance. The few
pieces we threaded (maybe 6 or 8) took about as much time to thread as
it did to install the rest of the 30X60 loop.
