RIDGID®,
a leading manufacturer of hand and power tools, announced the launch of the new
RIDGID® Model RP 210-B press tool, the smallest and lightest
pressing tool in the RIDGID product line, with the capability to make presses
up to 1 1/4-inch connections. The compact-designed RP 210-B is 2 inches shorter and 25
percent lighter than the RIDGID Compact 100B press tool, the previously most
compact unit from RIDGID.
Featuring an ergonomic design, the user-friendly
RIDGID RP 210-B press tool weighs 5.625 pounds and has 270 degree barrel rotation
and a flattened top, providing greater accessibility for users making
connections in confined spaces. In addition, the new press tool has indicator
lights that provide feedback and safety information.
According to the
companys press release, the RP 210-B press tool is the first RIDGID compact
press tool to feature a lithium-ion battery, which allows more presses per
battery charge and has optimum cold weather performance with a temperature
range of -10 to 50 degrees Celsius.
