RIDGID 31345 Strap Wrench, 2", 30" Length

Strap Wrench RIDGID 31345 Size 2 inches, Length 30 inches
An ideal tool for plumbers, electricians, and anyone working with finished surfaces. Unlike conventional wrenches that use teeth for gripping, this wrench uses a tightly woven nylon strap—sometimes coated with resin or urethane—to provide a strong grip without scratching the surface of pipes or objects. The wrench features an aluminum handle providing optimal leverage for work. The nylon strap is long and wide enough to accommodate actual outer pipe diameters and fits various pipe sizes. This design makes it ideal for use on chrome-plated pipes, PVC/CPVC plastic pipes, oil filters, PVC fittings, or even flanges where marring must be avoided. RIDGID strap wrenches are renowned for their durability and build quality, and the strap can be replaced when worn, making it a cost-effective, long-lasting tool.
