Fletcher aviation power hand held pipe threader mod.151
Fletcher Aviation Power Hand Held Pipe Threader Mod.151
Fletcher Aviation Power Hand Held Pipe Threader Model 151
This is a used unit with scratches and scuffs, but no apparent damage. The cord has no cuts or damage. It seems to run strong when I power it on. I don't have any dies for it, so I can't try actually cutting threads on pipe. The diameter of the opening for dies is about 3 5/8 inches. This unit is stamped, Fletcher Aviation El Monti California. This unit is dirty but it looks to me like it would clean up pretty well. It is probably one of a very few. See the article below.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fletcher Aviation Corporation was an aircraft manufacturer founded by three brothers, Wendell, Frank, Maurice Fletcher, in Pasadena, California in 1941. The initial aim of the company was to produce a wooden basic trainer aircraft (the FBT-2) that Wendell had designed, but despite brief interest by the Army in the type to use as a target drone, nothing came of this aircraft. After relocating to Rosemead, California, later projects involved a family of related designs, of which one (the FU-24) was produced in modest numbers in New Zealand as an agricultural aircraft.
Purchased by AJ Industries, it changed its name to Flair Aviation in 1960, and produced aircraft fuelling equipment, including drop tanks and hose reels for inflight refuelling. Moved to El Monte, California, its name was changed back to Fletcher and then Sargent-Fletcher in 1964 before abandoning aircraft manufacturing in 1966, with rights to the FU-24 going to Pacific Aerospace
