Reed Manufacturing

For the Enclosed Ratchet Threader Sets, the dies and dropheads are manufactured on CNC machines for cutting precision during the threading process. Sets contain enclosed dropheads and a ratchet handle in a compact, reinforced plastic carrying case. The dropheads are the lightest available, size for size. The enclosed dropheads in these sets can be used manually or with the REED 601PD Power Drive. To replace a drophead, refer to REED Enclosed Dropheads. Dropheads for pipe sizes up through 1-1/4" are interchangeable with RIDGID® 11-R and R200, Super-Ego® 600, Virax® 1362, Rothenberger™ Super Cut hand ratchet threaders and Supertronic portable power threaders.

R811 Universal Die Head uses universal dies from REED, Ridgid®, Wheeler-Rex®, Berkley and some private brands. R811 fits REED's 5301PD Power Drive and RIDGID® machine models 300, 535 and 1822. The R811 universal die head offers easy-to-adjust size selection with manual open/close operation, along with die lubrication slots. R811 does not include universal dies, order them separately. The R811 die head holds any NPT, NPSM, BSPT, or Bevel-type REED Universal Dies. Geared Threading Dies: The R65 die is made for easier work with larger pipe and in remote locations. It fits Ridgid® brand 65 geared heads. Like other REED chasers, the R65 is backed by REED's 120+ years of die-making experience, and is made in the USA.
