Product Overview

The RIDGID 31175 Model 1017 Fold Over Basin Adjustable Pipe Wrench is engineered for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and versatility in a single hand‑powered tool. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, the wrench offers exceptional strength while resisting corrosion thanks to its painted finish. The telescopic shank smoothly adjusts from 10 inches to a full 17 inches, providing the reach needed for a wide range of pipe diameters, from 3/8 inch up to 1‑1/4 inch.
