Overview
The RIDGID 31030 is a 24 inch pipe wrench built for pipe up to 3 inches in diameter, weighing 9.6 pounds. The extra length gives more leverage on stubborn fittings than RIDGID's shorter models in the same line.
Pipe wrench sizing roughly tracks capacity to handle length, and at 24 inches for 3 inch pipe this sits toward the larger end of the range plumbers and pipefitters use. That extra length trades portability for torque, which is why the tool weighs nearly 10 pounds.

Who it's for
Plumbers and pipefitters who regularly break loose or tighten 2 to 3 inch pipe will get the most from the extra leverage. It is less suited to someone working small fittings all day, where the length and weight become a handicap.
Pros and cons
- 24 inch length for high leverage
- Rated to 3 inch pipe
- RIDGID pipe wrenches are a plumbing trade standard
- 9.6 pounds is heavy for overhead or one-handed work
- Not suited to small fittings
Performance notes
At 9.6 pounds this is a two-hand tool for most users. The weight comes from the length needed for leverage plus a jaw built to bite harder as force increases, typical of this wrench style.
