Using a Pipe Threader

A pipe threader, one tool among many used by plumbers and other professionals in the construction business, may come in handy for do-it-yourselfers as a household repair and renovation device.

When considering a pipe threader, there are two types to keep in mind. With large, heavy duty threaders, the pipe is held in the grip of a chuck and is threaded by power equipment. Pipe with a diameter of up to two inches can be threaded while the head of the die (or threader) remains stationary with the pipe turning into the dies. This type of pipe threader makes male fittings.

Airless Paint Sprayers Make Light Work of Painting

Do-it-yourself homeowners generally fall into two camps when it comes to painting: the love-it group and the hate-it group. Fortunately, there's a way to bridge the divide. It's called an airless paint sprayer and it has recently revolutionized the way people paint their homes.

Much like the paint sprayers used by professional painters, the home versions of airless paint sprayers compress paint and you simply point, pull the trigger and shoot the paint - although hopefully you'll use a little more skill than that.
