Fred Scratcha™

For Kiwi and Aussie Plumbers

  • The Fred Scratcha is a modern plumbing tool designed for the essential preparation of 15mm and 20mm threaded tube, valves, and wingback threads before applying hemp or PTFE tape.
  • This tool is a valuable asset for plumbing apprentices because it is “dummy-free” and easy to use. It allows them to learn the critical concept of thread preparation without the difficulty and inconsistency of manual scratching or DAMAGE to the thread.
  • Its design includes a base hole for fixing to a stud, making it ideal for continuous use on commercial jobs.
  • Plumbers often find it useful to have a pair: one for the toolbox and one fixed inside the van.
