Heres a 10 inch Ridgid i got at a yard sale for 25 cents.

I think it's worth every cent!

(Nice job.)

Heh, you painted your Rigid pipe wrench Trimo red ; P

It looks great tho, and even a chinese made junky wrench would have cost you more than 25 cents ....

Nice job!
The 25 cent cost don't matter when you're needing to tighten a pipe fitting!

Great job!

Not bad for twenty five cents............great find

FWIW, I think the Chevrolet orange/red engine paint is pretty close to Ridged red.

Varidrive-- How did you straighten the handle?  Press, hammer, A/O torch...

I have always thought Ridgid pipe wrenches is one of the best tool deals out there. I have alot of them and have never had to pay more than 5 dollars for one. Must be because there is so many out there. Almost every garage sale or flea market I go to, someone has one or more for sale. The only ones I don't see alot of are the aluminum ones.

I found a Ridgid 4-inch crescent style wrench this Fall.  It cost me $12, but it seemed worth it as I had never seen one before.  There was not a trace of red paint on it.  Should I paint it?  Please advise.

Mine has no paint on it either....(6")

Handle-thumb design reminds me of crescent's.....

Lauver--- i straightend the handle with and A/O torch
