A portable pipe threader includes a stand upon which a pipe is supported, a carriage supported by the stand, and a plurality of pipe threading tools coupled to the carriage and selectively operable to perform work on the pipe. The portable pipe threader further includes a drive assembly mounted to the stand including a brushless direct current (DC) motor operable to provide torque to one of the pipe or a selected one of the pipe threading tools to rotate the pipe and the selected one of the pipe threading tools relative to each other, and a battery pack supported by the stand in selective electrical communication with the motor to provide electrical power to the motor.

A modification system for the modification of elongated pieces of stock may include a powered tool for modifying, or altering the piece of elongated stock, and a support device for supporting a position of the elongated stock relative to the powered tool. An arrangement of the components of the powered tool may provide for ergonomic balance of the powered tool. The support device may include a clamping device that clamps, or holds the elongated stock, and an adjustment device that adjusts a position of the clamping device based on a size of the elongated stock. The support device may include a latching device that maintains the position of the clamping device relative to the stock. A reaction arm may inhibit rotation of the tool relative to the stock during operation. A biasing device may provide for application of an axial biasing force on the stock, to initiate operation.
