RIDGID is celebrating a milestone in the industry: a quarter of a century as a leader in pipe inspection systems. RIDGID launched its first line of inspection cameras in 1996, allowing professionals to more easily diagnose in-ground pipe issues. Many of these first machines are still being used today.

“For 25 years, the RIDGID brand has been delivering durable underground products that have enabled our customers to grow and build their business year after year,” says Amy Moneypenny, global product manager, Underground Technologies – Inspection and Locating, at RIDGID. “We’re proud to have reached this exciting milestone that builds on our long history of developing tools for the world’s expert tradespeople that can be handed down to the next generation. RIDGID inspection camera reels are built to last, no matter how many times a cable is pushed down an iron pipe or how harsh the job site environment.” 

In recognition of the milestone, RIDGID is giving away a special edition customized RIDGID SeeSnake Mini Reel with TruSense, the latest diagnostic innovation from RIDGID. Understanding you can’t fix what you can’t see, the addition of TruSense technology to inspection reels vastly improves down pipe visibility and provides more data about the environment in-pipe.
