Overview
The RIDGID 31105 at $119.99 is the highest-rated wrench in this group, holding a 4.9-star average from 719 verified buyers with 300 units purchased per month. At 24 inches in length and 2.7 kilograms in weight, it delivers the reach of a large pipe wrench while being meaningfully lighter than a standard steel wrench at this size. The RIDGID 31030, also a 24-inch pipe wrench, weighs 9.6 pounds (approximately 4.35 kg), making the 31105 roughly 1.65 kg lighter.
The reduced weight makes the 31105 considerably more practical for extended overhead work, repeated repositioning in crawl spaces, or jobs where you carry the wrench throughout the day. The 4.9-star average across nearly 720 reviews is a very strong signal of consistent satisfaction across a diverse buyer base.
At $119.99, the RIDGID 31105 is priced at a premium relative to standard pipe wrenches of the same length. For buyers who use a 24-inch wrench regularly, the weight advantage and top-tier rating make a clear case for the investment.
