Ridgid 12-R Exposed Ratchet and Handle, Model 30118

The Ridgid 12-R Exposed Ratchet and Handle (Model 30118) adds extra functionality to any Ridgid Threader Set, giving pipe and conduit installers a second complete ratchet assembly on the job. Compatible with any 12-R dies (sold separately), this manual ratchet and handle is designed for quick, efficient threading of pipe and conduit in commercial and industrial electrical and mechanical work. Built to the same standard as the ratchets found in Ridgid's 12-R Threader Sets, this stand-alone unit lets crews equip a second work station, keep a spare on hand, or replace a worn handle without purchasing an entire new die set. It is backed by Ridgid's Full Lifetime Warranty and is manufactured in the United States.

Key Features

  • Model Compatibility: Designed to work with any 12-R die head (sold separately), allowing quick, consistent threading of pipe and conduit.
  • Ratchet Knob Indicator: A built-in ratchet knob clearly indicates forward or reverse operation, reducing setup errors and speeding up threading changes on the jobsite.
  • Secure Die Head Locking: Die heads (sold separately) lock securely into place on the ratchet, ensuring stable, accurate cuts throughout the threading process.
  • Manual Ratchet Operation: The manual ratchet mechanism is easy to use, giving installers reliable, hands-on control when threading pipe and conduit in the field or shop.
  • Expands Threader Set Functionality: Adding an extra exposed ratchet and handle lets crews outfit a second threading station or keep a ready spare, minimizing downtime if a primary ratchet needs servicing.
  • Model Number: Identified as the Ridgid 12-R ratchet and handle, matching the ratchet used in Ridgid's established 12-R Threader Set line.

Ridgid RID30118 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Ridgid 30118 ratchet come with dies, or do I need to buy those separately?
No dies are included. The Ridgid 12-R exposed ratchet and handle, model 30118, is the ratchet assembly only; 12-R die heads are sold separately. If you are starting from scratch you need both the ratchet and the die heads for the pipe sizes you intend to thread. If you already own a 12-R threader set, you likely have the dies and this just gives you a second ratchet.
2) Will the 30118 ratchet accept the 12-R die heads I already have in my threader set?
Yes. The 30118 is built to work with any Ridgid 12-R die head, and it matches the ratchet used in Ridgid's 12-R threader sets. The die head locks securely into the ratchet so it stays seated while you thread. If your existing dies are 12-R, they drop straight in.
3) Can I buy just the ratchet and handle to replace a worn one instead of a whole new Ridgid die set?
That is exactly what the 12-R exposed ratchet and handle (30118) is for. It is sold as a stand-alone unit so a crew can replace a worn handle, keep a spare on the truck, or outfit a second threading station without paying for another full die set. Your existing 12-R dies carry over.
4) Is the Ridgid 30118 a manual ratchet or does it drive off a power unit?
It is a manual ratchet. You thread by hand, working the handle back and forth, with a ratchet knob on the head that shows forward or reverse so you know which way it will bite before you start. There is no motor drive on this unit, which is why it travels well for field work and short runs of conduit.
5) Is the 12-R ratchet suitable for threading electrical conduit as well as plumbing pipe?
Both. The 30118 is used for threading pipe and conduit in commercial and industrial electrical and mechanical work, including plumbing and mechanical pipe fabrication and field or shop threading. The thread size you get is determined by the 12-R die head you fit, not by the ratchet.
6) Is the Ridgid 30118 made in the USA? We have domestic-content requirements on this project.
The 12-R exposed ratchet and handle is manufactured in the United States, and the country of origin on record is United States. For a public-works or federally funded job, that is the figure to put on your submittal for this item.
7) How do I make sure I am ordering the right Ridgid ratchet and handle?
Order by the model: Ridgid 12-R, catalog number 30118. The 12-R designation is the part that matters, because it determines which die heads will seat in it. A ratchet from a different Ridgid series will not take 12-R dies.
8) Why would a contractor keep a second 12-R ratchet on hand?
Two reasons, both about downtime. One ratchet and one set of dies means one threading station, so a second 30118 lets two people thread at once on a large conduit rough-in. It also means that if the primary ratchet needs servicing, work continues instead of stopping while it goes out for repair.
