Original Abstract Submitted

A portable pipe threader includes a stand upon which a pipe is supported, a carriage supported by the stand upon which at least one pipe threading tool is supported, a drive assembly mounted to the stand including an electric motor operable to provide torque to the pipe, and a lift-assist mechanism coupled to the stand. The stand is foldable about a pivot axis between a collapsed state and a deployed state, and the lift-assist mechanism is configured to apply a moment to the stand about the pivot axis during adjustment from the collapsed state to the deployed state.
