RIDGID® 65R Adjustable Hand Pipe Threader, 1″–2″ NPT Capacity with 12-inch Handle, heavy-duty drop head, replaceable chasers, field-ready for steel/galvanized/black iron piping

Condition: Used — working condition with normal cosmetic wear. Includes approx 12″ handle. Cutting oil, extra chasers/dies, and gauges not included.

Overview

The RIDGID 65R is a portable, adjustable hand threader covering 1″ through 2″ NPT without swapping die heads. Its drop-head construction and long handle give you leverage for clean, gauge-passing threads on steel, galvanized, and black iron pipe. Replaceable chasers (dies) keep the head serviceable for years, making it a staple for plumbers, pipefitters, mechanical contractors, sprinkler fitters, and facility MRO teams.

Features

• Adjustable die head (1″–2″ NPT) for multiple sizes with one tool
• 12″ handle for starting torque and finishing control
• Replaceable chasers/dies; service the size you need (1″, 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, 2″)
• Rugged drop-head body built for jobsite abuse
• NPT (right-hand) thread form for standard pipe fittings
• Manual, power-free operation—ideal on roofs, ladders, and remote areas
