Never heard of this brand? It is called rigid, meaning something strong and unbending. Not very sure whether this is an appropriate name for a company that manufactures and sells tools that breakd things down. Sure they do manufacture stuff that helps build things for construction but still it is a bit weird. Na, I am just nitpicking here. They sell pretty nifty tools for the construction industry, some of which are very unique in design. They sell vises, tube cutter, press tools, sink machines, wrenches, roll grooving tools, levels, forged anvils, bolt cutters, tile saw, nailers, pressure washers and so on. Now that is an impressive array of tools for those in the construction, welding and repair industry. They have been around since 1923 and they have supposedly gained a reputation for high quality and dependable products. Well, as long as it gets the work done without any problems, of course it is dependable. Check out their website for more information on their products.
