RIDGID’s plumbing tools are the ones plumbers keep on the truck for a reason — heavy-cast bodies, replaceable jaws, and the kind of weight that makes a pipe wrench actually bite into stuck fittings. The red enamel and I-beam profile are instantly recognizable, and the tool specifications haven’t changed substantially in decades because they didn’t need to.
The 31095 is RIDGID’s 18-inch heavy-duty aluminum pipe wrench — full-size bite and leverage with roughly half the weight of the cast-iron version. The floating hook jaw self-adjusts to the pipe, replaceable jaws mean the wrench outlives several sets of teeth, and the aluminum body swings easily in tight crawl-space conditions.
RIDGID has manufactured plumbing wrenches at its Elyria, Ohio facility since the 1920s. The heavy-duty pipe and basin wrenches in the company’s core line — including the Made-in-USA-stamped models — are still forged and assembled domestically. RIDGID tools carry a lifetime replacement warranty against defects.
