The RIDGID #18 Straight Pipe Wrench features a sturdy cast-iron housing with an I-beam handle for maximum durability, plus a full-floating hook jaw with spring suspension that delivers instant grip and instant release. The uniquely braced, extra-strong heel jaw mount and nonstick adjustment nut—which self-cleans grime from the hook jaw shank—make this wrench built for demanding jobsite conditions.
Replaceable jaws are crafted from tough, heat-treated, high-alloy steel for long-lasting performance on pipe and conduit work. This wrench meets Federal Specifications GGG-W-651 E, making it a reliable choice for industrial, MRO, and plumbing applications requiring a dependable 2-1/2" capacity straight pipe wrench.
