42478 STRAPLOCK Pipe Handle 7" Strap Wrench, Red

This product will never disappoint you, very well built

Works best when using two of the StrapLock pipe handlers on 4" PVC pipe. Straplock holds the strap length between uses. No re-adjustment needed! So set up one strap to fit the bell end of the PVC pipe and the other strap to fit the the pipe diameter. A must have set of tools when trying to pull lengths of larger diameter PVC pipe together before the adhesive sets up. Just finished a job with 500 feet of 4" PVC pipe and was accomplished with out any cuss words because I used the Rigid Straplock pipe handle strap wrench.

Simple tool that makes a world of difference when fitting up pipe 3" and larger. I had to do an entire DWV run in a crawl space and this tool was a massive help. Seems dumb at first thinking, "yeah, whatever, I've put so much pipe together with my bare hands so why bother." WRONG! This tool is a game changer in attics, crawl spaces, trenches, pushing up or holding vertical runs, using in conjunction with a deburring tool, and even when just cutting pipe. Bought it initially for use on a job in a tight crawl space, now thinking about buying another!!! LOL.

Rubber strap is a little too slippery to obtain a really firm grip on PVC pipe. You will need to “distress” the gripping surface to obtain a higher coefficient of friction between the strap and pipe. Otherwise a pretty nice tool!

I am a plumber by trade, and decided to add this to my tool collection as I believed it would execute it's purpose good,considering it is manufactured by Ridgid. I highly recommend adding this tool to your tool bag. I have used the Ridgid Straplock wrench to work with Schedule 80 Cpvc pipe ranging from 3" all the way up to 10". It has greatly assisted me by allowing me to have leverage of the pipe without needing anyone else. This makes solvent welding my pipe a breeze,whether it be a fitting,or stick of pipe. It has served me very well,and can say I have easily done over about 300ft+ of pipe installation with this tool alone. I would reccomend buying two straplocks,as you could have leverage from both sides, you will not be disappointed.

I am a plumber working in commercial construction. I made fun of my apprentice when he bought this to help push together 4inch pvc. I wasnt laughing after I tried it. I now use mine quite often. I've used it on 3 inch where I dont have much leverage(like working in 1 foot truss spacing). I've used it on 8inch pvc. It's sturdy enough for that as well. The other place I've used it is for cpvc water pipe. The fact that it keeps the size you have it set up for makes it save so much time over trying to set up a friction clamp on the pipe.

Unique cam action of strap mechanism is better than any other strap wrench I’ve tried. A bit bulky for tight spaces, but otherwise superior to the many other versions in my tool cabinet. A good value.

Couldn’t find one in a store near me so I found it on Amazon and got it the next day. It works great for really getting 4”+ pipes in their fittings without question.

Resuelve muy bien el problema de sujetar tuberías porque NO se patina a diferencia de otras llaves que ni sujetan o no tienen la fuerza en el punto de contacto para abrir un vaso de filtro, aflojar una tuerca unión de PVC. La construcción es robusta, la cinta aparentemente se ve delgada y delicada pero como la fuerza de agarre es a lo largo de toda la cinta no hay problemas de rotura. Permite sujetar muy bien un tubo ya que la llave se "cierra" y permite un buen apalancamiento, no lastima la mano. Realmente es un buen producto, bien diseñado y logrado. Lo recomiendo.

Soy fontanero y no conocía está herramienta es estupenda sobre todo para el montaje de PVC en desagüe, herramienta muy sólida no es un juguete, muy recomendable.
