Using a 700 to assemble pipe?

[Larry]

I was thinking about using our 700 power unit to assemble pipe. Something similar to a geared threader but it turns the whole pipe. Guess who spent a lot of energy recently on a long run of 3" pipe through a plant?! What's the gizmo you see being used on drill rigs?

If you come up with an idea to make that pipe up using power tools tell me!! i have found that 2 aluminium 36's with good jaws make fast work of it. And to finish makeup just use a compound wrench. It makes the work light.
