Some history on the company.
The Ridge Tool Company is an American manufacturing company that makes and distributes hand tools under the Ridgid brand name. The company was founded in 1923 in North Ridgeville, Ohio. In 1943, it relocated to its current location in Elyria, Ohio, and in 1966, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emerson Electric.
Ridgid tools are targeted at the plumbing, pipefitting, construction, and HVAC trades. The brand is best known for its distinctive red pipe wrenches, but the company manufactures over 300 different types of tools. The company also sells power tools, largely made by TTI, and wet/dry vacs, made by parent company Emerson.
Ridgid produced a pinup calendar from 1935 until 2016. Early renditions featured the work of American pin-up artist George Petty. Models that have appeared on the calendar include Raquel Welch and Brooke Burke. #ASMR

Incredible restoration, looks like a brand new tool, maybe better than new.
As a pipefitter, I like this one very much. Keep up the good work.

I have one sitting in an electrolysis bath. Am afraid to take it out as it will just start to rust again if I don't get all the water out. I liked seeing all the techniques you use that don't involve water.
beautiful work!!
Beautifully done and a different although delightful colour. I loved the restoration with just enough shine to not get ostentatious. 👍🇦🇺

Very nice restoration. I just picked up two of these exact same RIDGID pipe cutters at an estate sale ($10/each). They are both very dirty & rusty but still function, so, it's time to bring them back to life. BTW, orange is the correct color, NOT red. Once again, nice job. Cheers!
Fantastic job and video and the colour is spot on it looks and works fine thanks for sharing 🍺🍺👍👍

Спасибо. Это отличный ручной труборез, и очень хорошо, что вы его восстановили. Но комплект не полный. Должны быть две насадки 1/8 - 1 и вторая 1 - 2 дюйма. У вас только вторая. Но это не беда. Инструмент все равно очень качественный и надёжный. Удачи вам)))
Cool! Now that you have a pipe cutter. You can use your pipe vise more efficiently!

Great video. If you powder coat something and you missed a spot or the powder comes off can you put a little powder and heat it? Can you touch up powder coating?
@garymucher9590

Actually until you bake it, yes, you can spray on more powder. After it is baked and cured, you really need to sand off the area really well before respraying again. But it does also work well.
@AJRestoration

I did try to do touch ups on another project and if you re powder it after it has been cured the second coat leaves a really bad texture. SO its best to sandblast it again and start over. Unless there is a technique I don't know of.
I thought you will restore the gloves... Nice job on the pipe cutter.
Nice, but should rotate it the other way is how it is suppose to be used

Funny thing, that particular pipe cutter is usually a greyish silver colour. They are sold in stores here. Makes them distinctive from regular other brands which are usually red. Never seen a rigid pipe wrench but they do make one of the best pipe flaring tools. Their ballpoint tool is good but there is a ton of knockoffs of it sadly.

there is only a surface rust and cutter and the wheel looks very little used. I suspect an artificially created rust after a few days to make a video. But nice work

No need to, this one still cuts like its new. Unless it had a chip or bump, then it can be replaced. Replacing this cutter would be a waste of money.

Very nice restoration. A tip for masking for powder coating. Get Kapton tape with silicon adhesive. It's good to at least 500°F. Pricy, though. $36US for 1" x 36yds. And if you get 3M, you help out my town as we make it here in Indiana.

Why didn't you sand the main parts before painting?

Nice clean restoration but the old ridgid pipe cutter was actually red . And when you cut with them you are supposed to push from you not pull to you. Beautiful just non the less 👍

That tool is $150.00 USD brand new, I would say yours qualifies for that status. Normally red, the orange is a nice touch, you will never have to wonder which tool is yours.
