Ridgid Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrenches
RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrenches – Aluminum and Cast Iron
The RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrench is an industry icon, trusted by plumbers, pipefitters, and contractors for nearly a century. Built to withstand the harshest jobsite conditions, these wrenches are available in both cast iron and aluminum models, giving professionals the flexibility to choose the tool that best fits their needs.
The cast iron pipe wrench is the classic RIDGID design—rugged, strong, and virtually indestructible. Featuring a ductile-iron housing and an I-beam handle, it provides maximum toughness and torque for heavy-duty applications. Its precision-machined, heat-treated jaws bite firmly into pipe, ensuring a reliable grip on steel, galvanized, and other tough materials. This traditional version is the go-to tool when maximum strength and durability are critical.
For professionals seeking strength with reduced weight, the aluminum pipe wrench offers the perfect balance. Weighing up to 40% less than cast iron models, it maintains the same gripping power, jaw design, and durability RIDGID is known for, while significantly reducing operator fatigue. This makes aluminum pipe wrenches ideal for overhead work, extended use, or jobs where portability is essential.
Both versions feature replaceable hook and heel jaws, self-cleaning threads, and easy-to-adjust nuts for smooth operation and long service life. Sizes range from compact models to large-capacity wrenches, ensuring versatility across all applications.
Whether you choose the classic cast iron for maximum ruggedness or the lightweight aluminum for improved handling, the RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrench delivers the unmatched performance and reliability professionals demand.
