## Description

RIDGID 42478 STRAPLOCK Pipe Handle, 3-inch to 8-inch Strap Wrench, Red : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Great bit of kit - Brilliant bit of kit. Locks in place so you have leverage to twist pipes backwards and forwards while you are installing or removing. Much better then whip wrenches that you can only twist one way. Had mine for a year, used on lots of jobs and still looks like new.
Review: Pipe clamp - Very useful tool can be used in place of clamps as well

## Features

- The STRAPLOCK looks like a strap wrench, but provides a solid handle on hard-to-grip plastic pipe to easily align and set glued joints
- Specialized strap for maximum grip and minimal marring even in cold and wet environments
- Adjustable strap wrench features an innovative locking design allows for repeatable applications
- Rapid size adjustment allows you to quickly move between 3-inch (80 mm) and 8-inch (220 mm) diameter plastic pipe
- Delivers maximum leverage in tight quarters and can be used in pairs for complex installations

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bit of kit
*by M***Y on 2 July 2020*

Brilliant bit of kit. Locks in place so you have leverage to twist pipes backwards and forwards while you are installing or removing. Much better then whip wrenches that you can only twist one way. Had mine for a year, used on lots of jobs and still looks like new.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pipe clamp
*by A***R on 22 November 2025*

Very useful tool can be used in place of clamps as well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for abs pipe
*by M***Y on 10 March 2020*

Brilliant tool. Purchased to help glue 3” abs pipe. This grips the pipe really well, so makes it easier to push pipe into fitting, considering the glue goes off pretty quickly. Good value for money.
