Never heard of them, must be regional.

Re: Rigid Vs Rothenberger
I've used a Rothenberger power threader when working for a former employer. It was good, but right on par with Ridgid in my opinion. I didn't even know they made pipe wrenches. For threading, you think of Ridgid, Rothenberger, Toledo, and Oster. All of them are perfectly capable machines, but the parts and replacement dies are so easy to find for the Ridgid equipment that it would be silly to own one of the other brands.
Just my 2 cents. |
