Conduit die set recommendations

[Judd]

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good quality 20/25mm conduit die set? After looking online prices seem to vary quite dramatically. I Want something solid that will serve me for many years to come,
Thanks
Judd

Hall dies are the dog's bollox.

I still have a set of something similar to these.

The stocks or die holders are all pretty much of a muchness.
It’s quality dies and a good cutting grease you need to concentrate on.
Even poor quality dies will last if a good cutting grease is used.

Thanks all for the Input, I did notice the ones on tlc website and would consider the hall dies if I have a good month,
Spin, can you recommend any dies or decent cutting grease?

Armeg do a superb compound in a little squeezie bottle.

I bought a cheap Engex threading kit for this current job and it’s perfectly adequate.

Rocol is recommended, the new stuff is better then tallow as it aids the cutting and prolongs the life of the die, can also be used for drilling, but if I was threading conduit I'd use tallow as I am an old stick in the mud and have a lump of it at home handy for bacon as well........

Is the Armeg stock & die set worth the extra, most of their other kit is great?
