You may want to correct the spelling of "RIDGID" in your CL ad. You have it spelled "RIGID". This will help the search feature.

Thanks, I see I spelled it wrong here as well.

And I have a bunch of Ridgid tools from pipe tongs, pipe wrenches of all sizes, pipe cutters, cast iron pipe cutter and smaller threaders. You'd think I would know how to spell it.
Some of the older tools say the Ridge tool company right on them, not sure if the new ones do.

I think you have to wait 2 or 3 days to rerun a CL ad? No calls the first day.
This is in the Hartford CT market, maybe I'll try New Haven, Springfield or Boston.

Used one many times as a young electrical contractor. Love would not be a term I would use either. It got to a point that when asked if I knew how to run 3" and 4" conduit I would tell them no. The issue was never in threading the pipe but more in bending and screwing the pipe together.

I am sure it will sell, may take a while. Might do a serch on ebay to see if any are listed there and the going rate.

Just to update an old "thread", I finally sold it today. wasn't really advertising since I ran the first ad, but I was asking around. I met a young plumber/heating contractor this year and mentioned it ot him.
He wanted it but had to wait for a decent job to justify it. He got the right job, 650 feet of 2.5 inch gas line to feed a back up generator for a cell tower.

He was happy with the condition and price ($500.) and I was happy to see it go to good use

I told him if I ever need to thread big pipe I will come see him, he said "no problem" and sounded serious.
