RIDGID, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, has announced its participation in the AHR Expo, Jan. 31-Feb. 2, in Las Vegas. Their product team will be providing handson demos of their latest press tools and accessories, including the new RP 351 Press Tool. 

“During the last AHR Expo, RIDGID introduced our RP 350 Standard Press Tool and we can’t wait for attendees to experience first-hand its new counterpart, the RP 351, an in-line standard press tool option,” said Michael Provenzano, global marketing director, press connections, RIDGID for Emerson. “We’re also proud to be supporting the Expo’s efforts to set up local high school students studying HVAC for success by donating our iconic pipe wrench for their tool bags.”

RIDGID invites tradespeople to stop by the Emerson booth (#C3106) to demo the RP 350 and RP 351. Both tools are designed to help professionals get more done on every job with less fatigue and no timeouts. Together, the advanced, long-running press tools are built for the most demanding situations and give professionals maximum standard press tool versatility on the job site. Each are ideal for making connections on carbon steel, copper, PEX and stainless-steel pipe on residential, commercial and industrial jobs.
