The RIDGID Manual Ratchet Threader – Ratchet & Handle Only is a heavy-duty, manually operated threading tool designed for use with compatible RIDGID die heads. The exposed ratchet mechanism allows the operator to thread pipe, conduit, or—when used with the appropriate 00-RB die heads—bolts without electrical or powered equipment.

RIDGID specifies that the ratchet knob indicates forward and reverse operation, while compatible die heads can be inserted from either side and locked securely in place.
