The RP 351 with SlimGrip™ handle for enhanced balance and control weighs only about eight pounds with battery. It joins the recently introduced RIDGID RP 350 Press Tool, a drill grip standard press tool introduced last year to help professionals get more done on every job with less fatigue and no timeouts. Together, the advanced, long-running press tools are built for the most demanding situations and give professionals maximum standard press tool versatility on the job site. Both tools are ideal for making connections on carbon steel, copper, PEX and stainless-steel pipe on residential, commercial and industrial jobs
The RP 350 and RP 351 feature an advanced brushless motor, known for maximizing tool longevity, efficiency and durability. Their 360-degree swivel is an industry-first and comes paired with brightest-in-class LED lights to let users not only access tight spaces, but see them more clearly in low and no-light applications. And no scheduled maintenance means less downtime. Both tools are also compatible with the full line of RIDGID standard series jaws and rings, including: ½ – 4- inch ProPress® for copper and stainless steel, ½ – 2-inch PureFlow® for PEX, and ½ – 2-inch MegaPress® for carbon steel. They also offer maximum versatility, pairing with the RIDGID Press Booster for 2 ½ -inch, 3- inch, and 4-inch carbon steel, StrutSlayr™ Strut Shear Head and the Press Snap™ Soil Pipe Cutter. Each tool’s 18V battery platform includes chargers for on-the-go battery charging including a 12V car charger cord that is compatible with vehicles; the unit also pairs with the RIDGID Link app to track tool usage, service needs, battery life and last known location.
