Checked some el cheapo china, taiwan brands at ACE that sell for about P1.5k. I thought that it maybe good only for 1-3 wrenching sessions before you get those dreaded cross-threads....
What are the good brands then? Kindly share your thoughts and comments..
My dad is requesting me to buy the one that lasts since our home in the province needs some TLC on the plumbing .....for mostly home/DIY use only as well as other neighbors' request with a favor in return....

similar to your tap and die wrench set usually used for automotive jobs only that the dies are larger for making threads on pipes on our homes sir. in sizes starting from 1/2 inch, 3/4, 1, 1.5 inch and so so....
here is the best pic i can find for the pipe die set: http://www.indiamart.com/mgsinds/products.html
kindly share your info and comments sirs on the different brands on the local market. can't afford the imports...TIA
Re: Die Wrench (What brand to look for)
would a Ridgid or Super ego pipe threader suffice for this?

i've seen a Ridgid one from a friend (he says it's a good one aside from its name) but i still want to widen my "get-to-know-some-brands knowledge";)
Re: Die Wrench (What brand to look for)
ah ok...Ridgid is quite expensive but my favorite is their bolt cutters...very nice for cutting steel matting for fences...id be happy if all of their range of tools are available in Pinas.

Try Panda. I've seen some Record brand there. Probably still English made and priced below Ridgid.

Chain wrench ginagamit para sa malalaki sizes 6" or 8" na pipe. Ano size ng pipe ang gagamitin mo, para sa bahay lang I recommend pipe wrench
Pipe Vice puede na China kunin mo heavy duty.
Pipe Threader puede na China, important may extra die
