RIDGID® Introduces Lighter MegaPress Carrying Case
ELYRIA, OHIO – RIDGID® MegaPress® Kits will now feature a new, blow-molded carrying case and are up to 21 pounds lighter than previous models.

RIDGID Press Tools, Jaws, Rings and Prep Tools are built for the most demanding applications and are backed by the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty. In addition, all RIDGID MegaPress Jaws, Rings and Prep Tools were jointly developed and tested with Viega® MegaPress fittings.
