The RIDGID Model 300 Power Drive Complete (catalog number 15722) is a full-capability threading machine for pipe, conduit, and rod. It is the go-to choice for plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors who need a portable but powerful unit to thread on-site. This complete kit includes the power drive, stand with tray, carriage with lever, reamer, cutter, universal die head, 1/2–2 in alloy dies, and an oiler pre-filled with 1 gallon of premium oil.
RIDGID Model 300 Power Drive Complete: Turnkey Threading on the Job
The 57 RPM drive speed is matched to threading tasks, giving you controlled rotation while the RIDGID speed chuck centers and grips pipe. A reversible 1/2 HP universal motor provides consistent torque in both directions, so you can back the dies off after completing a thread. The carriage glides on heavy-duty support bars and is designed to hold threading tools securely, but can also be used for roll grooving when equipped.
1/2–2 in Die Head and 1/8–1 1/4 in Capacity: Read the Specs
This kit includes a universal alloy die head with 1/2–2 in alloy dies, allowing you to switch sizes quickly. The power drive itself has a 1/8–1 1/4 in capacity for the material it can spin and thread, while the universal head and dies cover the larger 2 in range. For most piping jobs, this covers the vast majority of steel pipe sizes you'll encounter.
Setup on the included stand is quick: the tray locks into position, the legs fold out, and transport wheels let you roll the machine to the next spot. Having the oiler and oil in the kit means you don't have to make a separate trip to the supply house.
Choosing the 300 vs. Other Power Drives
The Model 300 is lighter than larger stationary threaders and sets up in minutes. It is best for service work, small commercial jobs, and maintenance crews that need a dependable machine without the footprint of a 1215 or 1224. If you already have dies and a die head, the complete kit still avoids the hassle of assembling separate parts.
