RIDGID 31000 Model 6 Heavy-Duty Plumbing Straight 6" Pipe Wrench, Red, Made in the USA

This thing is amazing. I carry it in my 17 lb tool bag with a custom made cheater bar. It does work.

I'll be honest off the bat and confess that I bought this without noting the size. It was quite a shock when the tiny tool arrived. At least my wife got a kick out of how cute it was. It's closer to 5" than 6. We imagined little elves using it on little elf machines. Apparently, this has legitimate uses, so who am I to judge? I also screwed up by ordering a pipe wrench when what I really want is something with parallel jaws for grabbing bolts and whatnot. What I will say is that I was looking for a top-quality wrench, and I see I got the brand right, at least. This tiny little thing had serious heft to it! And having an adjuster with some nice grip and smooth action to it makes all the difference. When I looked again at other automotive wrenches to find something more appropriate, I noted they all had those lousy worm gear style adjusters, even pricier options. Only Ridgid had something (they call it a "spud wrench") that suited me. All in all, what do I know? I never even used this one - don't even know what it's for. Small pipes, I guess? But I'm telling you, it's one of those tools, where you feel it and immediately know how good it is. How it will last a lifetime. Beautiful, too. Even without having a use for it, I was tempted to keep it. So if you do work on tiny little pipes or tiny elf machines, I doubt you could go wrong with this wrench.

I have to admit, I didn’t do much research on this pipe wrench before I purchased. I needed to remove a shower arm from the wall, none of my other wrenches were gripping it, and this was the least expensive thing I could find in my five-minute, impatient search. Fast forward two days and the first thing I said when I pulled it out of the box was “aww, it’s so cute!” to the amusement of my husband. It’s probably 4-5” long. But this little guy packs a punch! The grip is so good, it took out my shower arm instantly, out-competing my regular wrenches that are three times its length. Highly recommend, just know that it’s TINY before you buy.

Works well in tight places really like the wrench

Cheaper at Home Depot but I didn't know then. Bought for a replacement of exact same tool. Coworker broke mine Stripped Allen bolts or broken bolts this dose a great job.

This little sucker is like exactly like the larger Ridgid wrenches, but got shrunk by Rick Moranis. It’s made in the USA and even has the same lifetime guarantee as the big wrenches. Even though it’s small, it’s not a novelty item. The body is made of cast metal, and the jaws are forged, hardened, and ground. The adjustment nut turns smoothly and the spring easily sets the jaw back for one hand use. One caveat for the non-plumbers like me, the fraction graduations on the jaw shank are not for nuts. It’s for pipe fittings, duh. But it is a good tool to have if you need a wrench with hardened teeth. Very well made and actually very useful. Would highly recommend.

Nice SMALL tool - be careful, I did not see the size - its small, very small, but useful to have.

received in good shape. satin finish uniform, and smooth, no jagged edges, or burrs. jaws have a good bite, (don't slip ) fit generally symmetrical, centered, and square with each other. and has a good balance. Rigid is well designed, and historically very durable and reliable. I think this mini 6 in. will do the same. its a life time purchase. Very Pricey, USA made. I have seen and used much lower price, and quality, which you will regret once you purchase a el-cheepo. Some comments in this review say thumb wheel and jaws fit sloppy... maybe so, but I disagree, as its a pipe wrench, designed for self centering clamping action, and when I have used it for a variety of plumbing, automotive, industrial jobs, it always worked perfectly for me. its not designed to withstand a 2 ft. cheater bar. its for those hard to reach, confined area's of lower torque, where no other wrench will grab or fit. I purchased several, for myself , and grandkids. . I recommend... retired automotive engineer...

It’s not the size of the wrench, it’s the skill of the hand that cranks it.

Tiene el tamaño preciso para trabajos en áreas pequeñas o con poco espacio, donde las llaves grandes no caben. Para mí fue difícil encontrar este tamaño en las tiendas ya que la más pequeña era de 8". La calidad de la llave y su mecanismo son muy buenos. 100% Recomendable.

Excelente, ótima ferramenta para local apertado.

j'ai acheté cette clé pour desserrer l'écrou de conduite rigide sur un piston de tambour de frein d'une voiture. Celui ci était très abimé et la situation était compliquée. Il m'a fallu 30 secondes pour le débloquer.il va de soi que je suis extrêmement satisfait de cet article de conception américaine. ça respire la qualité et doit être présent dans toute caisse à outils digne de ce nom. Attention toutefois à bien choisir la taille celle que j'ai choisi est a peine plus longue qu'un stylo mais remplit parfaitement son rôle

This is a small tool made for small jobs, it's made by Ridgid so it works very well
