Getting the Job with the RIDGID micro LM-100 Laser Distance Meter Each job starts the same way. You have to prove to the
customer you are the best person for the task. The RIDGID micro LM-100 laser distance meter is an upfront tool that provides simple, quick and accurate distance readings up to 164 feet. The laser distance meter can be operated by one person, taking measurements faster and easier than using a tape measure, enabling the tradesmen to bid confidently and competitively on more jobs quickly. A plumber can take direct and indirect measurements of a room, the distance from a boiler, or the length of pipe needed, in seconds. By using the device’s ultra-sharp class II lasers, the distance readings appear quickly on the LCD display. The meter displays up to the last three measurements and stores the last 20 measurements. The portable, compact device weighs 0.5 pounds and measures accurately within 1/16 of an inch.
Job Problems Solved with the RIDGID micro IR-100 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Being able to solve a problem quickly and precisely on
a job allows the tradesman to build business while reassuring customers they chose the right contractor for the job. The RIDGID micro IR-100 non-contact infrared thermometer provides surface temperature readings at the push of a button. A plumber can quickly find temperature inconsistencies across a radiant floor with the micro IR 100 thermometer. By squeezing the trigger and pointing the dual ultra-sharp class II lasers, a plumber spotlights the area of the surface being measured. The tool provides an immediate temperature measurement on

or a plumber it’s as much about the tools used on a job as the skill of the user performing the task. A professional tradesmen’s time is valuable, so having
the LCD display. A 20-to-1 distance-to-spot ratio allows for more accurate measurements from farther distances. Audible and visual high and low alarm settings alert the plumber to temperatures outside of the set ranges. When a plumber is looking for a leaking pipe inside a wall, a surface temperature reading highlights where the leak is, allowing the plumber to save time and money. Rather than tearing the entire wall down looking for the leak, the plumber knows where to cut and in turn only has to replace the wall where the leak is.
Complete and Verify the Job with the RIDGID micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector The RIDGID micro CD-100 combustible gas detector
can be used to provide simple and fast readings to quickly identify the presence of combustible gases. During jobs such as natural gas hot water tank installations, the CD- 100 combustible gas detector can be used to verify there are no leaks. The detector is designed to detect methane, propane, butane, ethanol, ammonia, hydrogen and many other combustible gases. The adjustable sensitivity settings allow for quick,
precise leak locating even in low-levels and the Tri-Mode Detection™ gives the operator the flexibility to be alerted with a visual, audible or vibration alert, which can be adjusted for each environment. RIDGID hand-held diagnostic tools eliminate the trial
and error from any job and provide the tradesman with a precise pinpointed solution to the problem at hand. Regardless of what stage a plumber is at in a job, RIDGID has a hand-held diagnostic tool that will help them complete the task easily and accurately. ;
