Ridgid 72553 RP 115 Mini Press Tool Kit (1/2" & 3/4")

The World’s Smallest Press Tool. Only 2.9 lbs. 90% of Your Jobs, Half the Weight.

The Ridgid 72553 (Model RP 115) is a revolution in portability for the plumbing industry. As the smallest and lightest press tool on the market, the RP 115 is engineered specifically for the residential service professional. It delivers 5,400 lbs (24kN) of hydraulic force in a package that is barely larger than a standard drill, making it the definitive choice for pressing 1/2" and 3/4" copper and stainless steel fittings.

For the technician at The Fastener Group, the RP 115 is the ultimate "get-it-done" tool. Whether you are working overhead in a crawlspace, reaching behind a kitchen sink, or navigating a crowded manifold, the 210° head swivel and one-handed trigger operation give you access that full-sized tools simply can't match.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• Ultra-Compact Micro Design: At only 2.9 lbs (without jaws), this is the most agile press tool in the Ridgid lineup, drastically reducing hand and arm fatigue.
• Optimized for Residential Service: Specifically designed to handle 1/2" and 3/4" copper and stainless steel—the two most common sizes in residential plumbing.
• One-Handed Operation: The ergonomic design allows you to open the jaws and trigger the press cycle with a single hand, leaving your other hand free to stabilize the pipe.
• 210° Head Swivel: Provides superior maneuverability in awkward, tight spaces, ensuring you can reach the fitting regardless of the joist or wall orientation.
• 12V Lithium-Ion Power: Part of the efficient Ridgid 12V platform, delivering enough power for up to 140 presses per charge.
• Slimline "Mini" Jaws: The specialized RP 115 jaws are significantly smaller than standard or compact jaws, allowing for a tighter fit against walls and obstructions.
• Built-in LED Work Light: Illuminates the connection point, ensuring a clear view of the fitting and pipe insertion marks in dark service environments.
