The RIDGID 38540 Manual Pipe Threader (catalog number 38540) is a rugged ratcheting handle built for use with RIDGID 00-R and 00-RB threading systems. It's a favorite of plumbing, electrical, and mechanical professionals who need reliable manual threading in the field or in the shop. The 3-foot handle delivers ample leverage to reduce strain, and the easy-access ratchet knob lets you switch between forward and reverse instantly.
RIDGID 38540 Ratchet Handle: Built for Tough Threads
This ratchet handle is designed to accept RIDGID die heads, which snap in from either side and lock securely. That means faster size changes when you're working with multiple conduit or pipe sizes. The handle is constructed from hardened steel for long-term durability, and the comfortable grip helps keep you in control.
Manual Threading You Can Rely On
For threading in tight spaces or where power tools aren't practical, the RIDGID 38540 gives you the mechanical advantage you need. The ratcheting action lets you work in confined areas without swinging a full circle, and the forward/reverse knob allows you to back off quickly after a thread is cut.
A Legacy of Professional Quality
RIDGID tools are purpose-built for the evolving demands of commercial, industrial, and energy markets. This ratchet handle is a solid addition to any pipe threader kit, delivering the performance and reliability that professionals expect.
