Product description
Designed to simplify the installation and maintenance of large diameter plastic pipe. If you join pipe this is a tool that should be in your box. The RIDGID 42478 STRAPLOCK Pipe Handle securely grips plastic pipe from 3 inches to 8 inches, giving you maximum leverage in tight quarters and allowing you to confidently apply force in all directions. Acting as a second set of hands on the job, the STRAPLOCK looks like a strap wrench, but is designed to provide a solid handle on hard-to-grip plastic pipe so you can easily align and set glued joints, even in cold and wet environments.
The specialized strap provides maximum grip and minimizes marring, while its innovative locking design allows for repeatable applications. Offering versatility, the adjustable STRAPLOCK quickly adjusts to accommodate different pipe sizes easier than the typical strap wrench. For complex jobs, you can use more than one to easily pull pipes together.
This pipe strap wrench has a strap length of 31 inches (800 mm) for a 3-inch to 8-inch pipe capacity.
RIDGID covers its products with a lifetime warranty against defects in material or workmanship for the life of the tool.
Since 1923, RIDGID has remained the symbol of certainty to dedicated professionals of the expert trades. Every tool that bears the RIDGID brand is engineered to the same high standards of quality, strength and endurance, as was that first heavy-duty pipe wrench more than 80 years ago.

- Reviewed in Canada on November 23, 2024Verified Purchasegrips smooth pipes real hard. easy to use. fairly compact. love it.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2021Verified PurchaseI work in HVAC and use 3” cpvc and cutting it is a major pain…. I saw this and was not to impressed by pictures but took the chance. So glad I did this thing makes cutting 3”-4” cpvc and PVC so much easier and it’s very durable. Especially when you have to trim small pieces or just cut small pieces. If you are in the HVAC trade I highly recommend this
- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2023Verified PurchaseExcellent when on a ladder putting and pipe and fitting together
- Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2022Verified PurchaseThis tool allowed me to tighten the pipes going to my pool pump, stopping a persistent leak. Very useful.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2023Verified PurchaseNot only is it great for 4 inch pipe and in tough situations 3 inch pipe. But I also had the idea of clamping multiple pipe just for loading and unloading into the van and at the jobsites, makes it easier to carry and it keeps them all together. My only complaint is I wish it was metal and for 50 bucks for plastic. I give three stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Genial! Inmejorable producto
Verified PurchaseResuelve muy bien el problema de sujetar tuberías porque NO se patina a diferencia de otras llaves que ni sujetan o no tienen la fuerza en el punto de contacto para abrir un vaso de filtro, aflojar una tuerca unión de PVC. La construcción es robusta, la cinta aparentemente se ve delgada y delicada pero como la fuerza de agarre es a lo largo de toda la cinta no hay problemas de rotura. Permite sujetar muy bien un tubo ya que la llave se "cierra" y permite un buen apalancamiento, no lastima la mano. Realmente es un buen producto, bien diseñado y logrado. Lo recomiendo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have tool for the DIY'er
Verified PurchaseWorks best when using two of the StrapLock pipe handlers on 4" PVC pipe.
Straplock holds the strap length between uses. No re-adjustment needed!
So set up one strap to fit the bell end of the PVC pipe and the other strap to fit the the pipe diameter.
A must have set of tools when trying to pull lengths of larger diameter PVC pipe together before the adhesive sets up. Just finished a job with 500 feet of 4" PVC pipe and was accomplished with out any cuss words because I used the Rigid Straplock pipe handle strap wrench.
