RIDGID 36505 Exposed Ratchet Threader Set, 1/8" to 2" Pipe

The RIDGID 36505 exposed ratchet threader set is a professional-grade hand threading kit that covers pipe sizes from 1/8 inch to 2 inches. It's a go-to choice for plumbers, electricians, and maintenance crews who need reliable, on-site threading for conduit, pipe, and nipples. The exposed ratchet mechanism is simple, rugged, and easy to service in the field, and RIDGID's reputation for durability means this set will handle years of use.

RIDGID 36505 Exposed Ratchet Threader Design

The exposed ratchet design gives you a clear view of the threading action and makes the tool straightforward to operate and maintain. The ratchet handle allows you to work in confined spaces and keeps your hands clear of the threader. This set includes the ratchet head and a full range of dies to cut standard threads on 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2 inch pipe.

Replacement Dies for the RIDGID 36505

Over time, thread dies wear and may need to be replaced. The RIDGID 36505 uses standard RIDGID dies, which are available separately from the manufacturer and through many industrial supply stores. To find the right replacement dies for your 36505, match the die capacity and thread type (NPT or conduit) to the pipe sizes you work with. Dies are typically sold individually by size, so you can replace only the sizes that get the most use. Keep a spare set of the most common sizes—1/2 in and 3/4 in—on the truck to avoid downtime.

Why Choose This Product?

Exposed ratchet threaders are lighter and easier to use in tight spaces than geared threaders, making them ideal for maintenance and repair work. They're also easier to clear if a chip gets caught, and the mechanism is simpler to repair. If you thread pipe only occasionally or need to work on existing plumbing, the RIDGID 36505 gives you portable, dependable performance without the bulk of a large power threader.
