Abstract

A portable pipe threader includes a housing, a carriage, and at least one pipe threading tool. A drive assembly of the is at least partially positioned within the housing and includes an electric motor operable to provide torque to the pipe. A lubrication system is removably coupled to the housing and includes a reservoir for holding a lubricant and a pump powered by the drive assembly. A stand of the portable pipe threader is adjustable between collapsed and deployed states. When collapsed, a longitudinal axis of the housing is maintained at a first oblique angle relative to a horizontal reference plane parallel with a work surface upon which the stand is supported to funnel lubricant toward the reservoir. When deployed, the longitudinal axis is maintained at a second oblique angle to funnel lubricant away from an end of the pipe on which a working operation is performed.
