Customer Reviews for RIDGID 48 in. Aluminum Straight Pipe Wrench for Plumbing, Sturdy Plumbing Pipe Tool with Self Cleaning Threads and Hook Jaws

IT'S LIGHTWEIGHT, STURDY AND MOST OF ALL RIGID!!

This is the plumbers go to tool no other tool in my tool chest compare to its durability and craftsmanship.

Don't let the weight fool ya. These can really put the hurt on ANY stubborn pipes. And I'd like to join the review give away Rik R. "Rik's Custom Plumbing"

Rigid changed the handles. There is more material at the jaws which doesn't help in tight locations. Also the handle edges aren't as rounded on the edges and are not comfortable in the hand. When you use them all day long 5 days a week these changes are a big deal. I don't like them and neither does any of our crew.

Lightweight, but still a tough wrench

Best pipe wrench they had. Made in USA. I replaced The Chinese wrench because teeth stripped off it’s Jaw.

I have 3 different size wrenches, all aluminum and they always work great! They never slip and they always grab even when the teeth are full of dirt and debris. Well worth the money and they will always be in my truck no matter what!

Don’t let the weight fool ya. I use these on job above and below water. Light weight is a must when you are a couple hundred feet below the surface.

Made in the USA! Has much less slop than the other pipe wrenches they had in the store. I will always try to support companies that manufacture here in the USA. We need more companies to bring manufacturing back to provide jobs for people.

If you need a pipe wrench, spend the money and buy a Rigid. Great tool!

There’s a lot of pipe wrenches out there with lower prices but after a solid minute of using them compared to a better quality wrench like Rigid or Milwaukee who have a patent on the angle of the jaws to grab better with the down stroke and it also allows the wrench to release on the up stroke. And another reason is how a quality wrench will not need to be readjusted after every few strokes like the cheeper ones. It’ll keep the same size until you need to change the size.

Very well built. Looks like very good quality from my experience i think ridgid makes the best pipe wrenches.

Best brand n warranty

Was a little skeptical considering how light the aluminum wrench is but it works like a charm and I don’t feel like I am carrying around a dumbbell all day.
