e – The RIDGID® 700 Power Drive has proven to be the industry workhorse in hand-held power drives for decades and has been the most powerful and durable on the market. Constructed with a rugged cast aluminum housing, the 700 PD is designed for heavy-duty applications and everyday use. It is ideal for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors as it can cut both right and left-hand threads in seconds, saving time, effort, and money. The 700 PD drives RIDGID 12-R Die Heads for 1 /8? - 2? pipe capacity, threads bolts 1 /4? - 1?, and also drives 141 & 161 Geared Threaders (for increased pipe capacity of 21 /2? - 6?). The versatility of the 700 PD is further expanded by being able to power RIDGID 258 and 258XL Power Pipe Cutters.
