RIDGID 36 in. Straight Pipe Wrench 5 in. Jaw Cast Iron Handle

Bad

I bought a 48-inch pipe wrench some time ago. In less than a year, it broke during use. The usage was not improper, which is why I am surprised—especially since it is from a top brand. My work is in the oilfield; we are an oil services company, and I work in the DST department. Could you please clarify why this might have happened? I was confident when I purchased this brand that it would last for a long time.

Ridgid 836 36" Aluminum Pipe Wrench

Good pipe wrench for years until housing cracked/collasped. Despite the wrench sticker saying it has a lifetime warranty on the housing Ridgid has made it impossible to register the tool for a warranty claim. And they have ignored my requests to elevate the matter. Other brands honor their warranty in any location sold near you. At their price point they should last a lifetime.

Built for a lifetime, try built for 3 lifetimes.

I am a professional pipefitter. On my side work l use the pipe wrenches l inherited from my dad who used them for his side work. My dad inherited the wrenches from my grandfather who used them too. Never have these wrenches ever failed. It just occurred to me these tools could be 100 years old. The still work perfectly.

Hi, I’m working in oil field and we’re using Ridgid 36” pipe wrench to torque up the connections upto 3600 ft-lb by using Chain lever hoist (come along). Kindly let me know if it is okay to use come along/ Cheater pipe and if its not allowed kindly confirm the maximum torque can be applied to 36” straight Pipe wrench.

Awesome tool. Professional quality.

I have had Rigid pipe wrenches for years. They work awesome for for my job. Thank you.

Heavy Duty but size listed is misleading

I just purchased the 60 inch model. It is very heavy duty and well built but the length of the handle to the lower jaw is 43 inches. The overall length, with the jaw fully extended is only 53 5/8 inches. Not even close to the 60 inches they advertise.

Ridgid makes good pipe wrenches

I work industrial maintenance and I've used ridgid pipe wrenches on pipes big & small. I've never had a ridgid wrench slip while using it. Daggone good pipe wrenches.

Warranty is no good

Bought a 8” pipe wrench quite a few years ago. I didn’t use it a lot and the lower jaw broke. I call customer support and was told it’s not warranty without all the pieces of the lower jaw. So much for lifetime warranty! Don’t waste your money

60” straight wrench

Can you kindly make the hook jaw available without the handle. As drilling company, the hook jaw goes bad after long use. The handle stays as is. So the only part needed is the jaw only.

Built to last

I inherited a ridged pipe wrench from my uncle that had to be twenty or thirty years old… as far as I’m concerned it’s better than new. The thing is like a rock. Ive leveraged a 8 foot tube on it before probably a few tons of pressure and the thing isn’t even slightly crooked. Very robust
