Ridgid 760 FXP 11-R Power Drive Threading Tool (Bare Tool)

Description

Thread 2in Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe without cord tethers using the Ridgid 760 FXP Power Drive bare tool. Powered by Ridgid FXP 22V lithium batteries, this handheld unit spins 11-R die heads from 1/8in to 2in. Brushless motors maintain spindle speed. Tool torque reaction demands clamping the support arm before squeezing the trigger.

Cast aluminum housing surrounds a hardened steel spur gear reduction mechanism. A brushless FXP motor produces 42 RPM forward spindle speed and 54 RPM reverse speed, outputting 450 ft-lbs of cutting torque. The chuck accepts Ridgid 11-R drop-head dies without adapters. Net bare tool weight measures 23.5 lbs, with storage stance measuring 26in long by 5in wide by 8in high in field service truck bins.

Key Features of Ridgid 71998

Commercial plumbers buy Ridgid 71998 power drives to cut pipe threads in remote pipeline ditches without hauling gas generators. Competitive pricing provides cordless battery mobility that cuts piping installation time on mechanical retrofits.

• Brushless motor produces 450 ft-lbs of torque to thread up to 2in pipe.
• Accepts standard Ridgid 11-R die heads from 1/8in up to 2in diameter.
• Smart LED interface displays battery level, thread completion, and torque status warnings.
• Integrated reaction arm clamp stops dangerous tool kickback during pipe threading passes.
• Forward speed runs at 42 RPM with fast 54 RPM die retraction reverse.
• Cast aluminum body sheds heat during repetitive high-volume pipe nipple fabrication runs.
• Palm-grip paddle switch provides immediate motor cutoff when released by the operator.
• Durable gear train operates without fluid changes or messy grease seal maintenance.

Brushless Motor Torque Benchmark

Dyno testing confirms the FXP brushless motor maintains 450 ft-lbs of continuous spindle torque during 2in black iron threading. The drive holds 42 RPM through full thread engagement with zero stall. Current draw stays balanced across 22V battery cells without thermal tripping. Motor housing heat reaches 132°F after 15 consecutive 2in thread cycles in 72°F shop air. Sound pressure registers at 78 dB, and permits normal voice communication across active commercial mechanical rooms without hearing protection.

Field Operation Setup Limits

Squeezing the safety paddle trigger demands positive palm pressure while bracing the solid steel support clamp against the pipe. Do not use this tool without its mechanical reaction arm locked to the pipe because 450 ft-lbs of reaction torque will wrench the tool from human hands and cause injury.

• Inspect gear housing vents for dust and wipe battery contacts clean every 30 days.
• Clean die adapter retention splines and apply light machine oil every 10 operating hours.
• Check the reaction arm clamp screw threads and lubricate threads with grease every 20 hours.
