RIDGID has built professional drain cleaning and pipe tools since 1923, and J.M. McKinney Co has carried the RIDGID line as an authorized dealer since 1948. This category covers the full RIDGID lineup: drain cleaning machines, pipe wrenches, pressing tools for ProPress and MegaPress, and diagnostic and locating equipment, everything a plumbing or drain crew runs from a service truck.
Drum machines, sink machines, FlexShaft machines, and water jetters cover everything from routine sink clogs to grease-heavy commercial lateral lines. The K-45 and cordless K-46 SinkSnake handle small 1-1/4″ to 3″ fixture lines. The K-400, K-750, K-3800, and K-7500 drum machines step up for general lateral line work, with the K-7500 built for the heaviest municipal and commercial service. The K9-102+, K9-204+, and K9-306 FlexShaft machines use chain knockers to scrub the full pipe wall on grease-heavy or root-intruded lines, and all three support running a camera at the same time. The KJ-1350, KJ-1750, KJ-2200, and KJ-3100 water jetters use pressurized water instead of a cable for the toughest buildup. See RIDGID Drain Cleaning for the full lineup.
Six wrench types cover six different jobs. The Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrench, sized 6″ to 60″, handles standard pipe turning. The Offset Pipe Wrench reaches around obstructions where a straight wrench can’t get square access. The Chain Wrench, sized C-12 to C-36, grips irregular or corroded stock that a fixed jaw can’t seat on. End Wrenches use an angled jaw for wall-adjacent and confined-space work. RapidGrip wrenches use a spring-loaded jaw for one-handed speed on repetitive jobs. The Spud Wrench uses smooth jaws sized for urinal spuds and chrome fixtures without marring the finish. See RIDGID Wrenches for the full lineup.
RIDGID press-fit systems connect pipe without a torch, flux, or open flame. ProPress presses copper and stainless steel fittings using rings sized from 1/2″ through 4″, run on press tools including the compact RP 251 and the battery-powered RP 350, RP 351, and RP 115. MegaPress presses carbon steel fittings using its own dedicated jaws and rings, covering 1/2″ through 4″ with the standard kit and the Press Booster extension. The two systems are not interchangeable, matching the ring to the correct pipe material and actuator matters before every job. See RIDGID ProPress Tool for the complete ProPress lineup, or RIDGID Pressing Tools for MegaPress and the shared press tool line.
SeeSnake inspection cameras, from the compact micro CA-25 up through full reel systems, show what’s happening inside a pipe: a blockage, a crack, root intrusion, a misaligned joint. SeekTech locators, including the SR-20 and the NaviTrack Scout, and ST-305 and ST-510 transmitters find buried lines and camera heads from the surface. Most inspection jobs use a camera and a locator together, a camera to diagnose the problem and a locator to mark the exact spot to dig or repair. See RIDGID Diagnostic/Locating for the full lineup.
A handful of RIDGID products account for a large share of what service trucks actually carry day to day. The K-750 Drum Machine and K-45 Sink Machine cover the bulk of routine cable-based drain work. The K9-204+ FlexShaft Machine handles the grease-heavy commercial calls a standard cable machine struggles with. The Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrench and Chain Wrench are the two most-reached-for hand tools on a plumbing truck. For inspection work, the micro CA-25 camera and SeekTech SR-20 locator are the entry point most crews start with before scaling up to full reel systems.
As an authorized RIDGID dealer, J.M. McKinney Co stocks genuine RIDGID equipment backed by RIDGID’s manufacturer warranty, not gray-market or discontinued stock. Southern California plumbing and drain contractors have sourced RIDGID tools here since 1948, with in-stock availability and fast shipping on the equipment a service truck actually runs day to day. Many RIDGID hand tools, including the wrench line, carry RIDGID’s Full Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Start with the job, not the brand. A clog needs a drain cleaning machine, matched by pipe size and clog type, a sink machine for small fixture lines, a drum machine for general lateral work, a FlexShaft machine when the pipe wall itself needs scrubbing, or a jetter for the heaviest buildup. A pipe connection needs a wrench or a pressing tool, depending on whether the job is mechanical or press-fit, and whether the pipe is copper, stainless, or carbon steel. A line that needs to be traced or inspected before or after a repair needs diagnostic and locating equipment. Most working trucks carry equipment from at least three of these four categories, since a single job often touches more than one.

Drain cleaning machines, wrenches, pressing tools (ProPress and MegaPress), and diagnostic and locating equipment.
A drum machine clears a path through a clog with a standard cable. A FlexShaft machine uses chain knockers inside an enclosed cable system to scrub the full pipe wall, better suited to grease-heavy or root-intruded lines.
The micro CA-25 is the common entry point, a compact, view-only camera for quick diagnostic checks. Crews needing recording and longer reach move up to full SeeSnake reel systems.
