RIDGID 760 FXP Power drive
The 760 FXP is a cordless power head that works with the industry standard 12R style thread die heads that RIDGID has manufactured for decades.
The 760 will also power the 258 & 258XL Pipe Cutters. OD capacity: 1/8” - 2”
The tri-stand isn’t necessary because the clamp will hold the pipe secure but I don’t like kneeling on the ground if I can avoid it, and I keep the 425 stand on my van. It’s super compact.
Overall the 760 is super nice. It will thread up to 2” pipe and is rugged, I’ve been using it off and on for about a year and it seems to be on par with any modern RIDGID tool out of Elyria, OH

Gas
Custy had natural gas brought up to the house recently so the conversion is in motion.
New main is run thru the garage into the mech room, new line to the outbuilding for an upcoming boiler system installation.
Love that @navac_inc flaring tool and of course the fabulous @knipex_northamerica pliers wrenches 🤟🏼💯😎

Flared copper gas line
Yes, copper can be just fine for natural gas and LP. It’s been code approved since ever and is commonly used all over the world, like it has been here for decades here in MN.
The deciding factor is the level of hydrogen sulphide. Copper and brass pipe may be used if the gas contains no more that an average of 0.3 grains of hydrogen sulfide per 100 scf of gas (0.7 mg/100L).
And now you know 💪🏼💯

From this week's Milwaukee Tool Pipeline influencer event, we learned that during the company is launching a new battery package. The M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE XC6.0 Battery Pack delivers HIGH OUTPUT 12.0 power in a smaller size, 15-minute supercharge up to 80%, and the longest life vs REDLITHIUM batteries. REDLITHIUM FORGE are Milwaukee’s most powerful, fastest charging, and longest-life batteries.
The REDLITHUM FORGE XC6.0 delivers the same power as the M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 in a smaller size and lighter weight design. The optimized combination of size, weight, and increased power provides the best solution for power-demanding overhead work and tight work areas.
The REDLITHIUM FORGE XC6.0 is the fastest charging battery pack within its class on M18, charging in just 15 minutes to 80% with the new M18 Dual Bay Simultaneous Super Charger. This lithium-ion battery has the longest life, the most recharges, and the best performance over the life of the battery.
This solution is designed with resistant housing for increased protection against exposure to common oils, greases, and solvents. Built-in REDLINK Intelligence protects the battery from overloads, preventing you from damaging your cordless power tools in heavy-duty situations. The REDLITHIUM FORGE XC6.0 battery is fully compatible with 250+ M18 solutions.
