RIDGID®, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, introduces a new tool for cutting pipe quickly and efficiently: the Pipe Saw. Whether in the fab shop or in the field, the fully transportable Pipe Saw cuts 1-inch to 12-inch pipe up to a 1⁄2-inch wall thickness.
Designed for versatility, the Pipe Saw is configured to cut steel and stainless steel and with a quick switch to one of the optional blades it can cut plastic and cast steel. Eliminating the need to struggle with gas tanks, open flames, or handle loose tools, the Pipe Saw secures to the pipe with a rugged 3-point roller system that sets up and cuts up to 12-inch pipe in minutes.
Conveniently placed handlebars and feed rate speed monitoring with LED interface enable easily controlled rotation from a comfortable, ergonomic position. Built-in handles and dedicated cord wrap provide easy portability.

A part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, RIDGID is proud to support trade professionals giving back to the community
RIDGID®, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, today announced their sponsorship of the first Miracle Mechanical project, a new initiative that completes plumbing, heating and air conditioning work for those in need at no-cost to the homeowner. The non-profit, headquartered in Georgia, is spearheaded by plumbing and mechanical contractor Brent Ridley.
“I have been doing tool reviews for many years, but I wanted to do more with my platform and really try to help some folks,” said Ridley, who along with working as a contractor is also a tool reviewer and co-host of the Tool Pros podcast.
The Miracle Mechanical team recently completed its first project for homeowner Nick Hendricks and his family in Monroe, Georgia. Hendricks had been seriously injured in a car accident. While he was recovering, the family’s home began experiencing septic system issues.
“The repairs mean everything to us at a time like this,” Hendricks said. “It had come to a point that we were afraid when it rained that the toilet downstairs would overflow due to groundwater getting in the septic and backing up through the toilet! Any time it rained the toilet would bubble and gargle and it was very unsettling.”
The Miracle Mechanical team repaired the septic system issues to prevent sewage from backing up in the house. They also installed three new toilets, repaired kitchen sink piping and installed a new electric water heater.
“At RIDGID we’re committed to not only supporting the trades, but also giving back to the community,” said Becky Brotherton, Senior Marketing Communications Manager, RIDGID for Emerson. “It’s a privilege for our team to be a financial supporter of the work Miracle Mechanical is doing to help others.”

If you are considering a career in HVAC it just makes sense to learn as much as you can about the profession beforehand. After all, choosing a trade is a significant step in your life, and it can affect everything from your salary to what you will find yourself doing day-to-day. Fortunately, you can read all about the most convincing reasons to begin a career in HVAC in the post below.
Great career progression
Do you have big dreams? Are you set on running or owning your own businesses one day? Then HVAC could be the perfect industry for you, the reason being that many of the most important and wealthy people in the field began their career path with an entry-level job.
Indeed, unlike many industries where you need to have degree-level qualifications to even enter, HVAC is a trade that is perfectly set up to allow those with a good work ethic and dedication to prevail.
It’s not only about the installation
Many people are under the mistaken impression that HVAC is only about installing units. However, this could not be further from the truth. Indeed, the HVAC industry employs a wide range of people from sales experts, to logistics specialists as well as installation operatives.
In fact, another major role that is always looking to be filled in within the HVAC industry is that of an engineer. After all, there are many successful businesses like HVAC Design and Construction Services that custom makes HVAC units for commercial clients. Of course, such companies will require folks to design and engineer these systems, as well as complete the install process.
Problem-solving satisfaction
Another solid reason to choose HVAC as a career is the satisfaction you can reap from the job on a daily basis. The reason for this is that HVAC work usually requires identifying and then solving a problem for your customer, something that means you get to see the difference you make directly in people’s lives.
Indeed, HVAC specialists need to not only be up to date on the latest information and specification but also use their creative skills to find out-of-the-box solutions to their customer’s issues. Of course, having to innovate like this in your day-to-day job can be both very rewarding and very stimulating too.
HVAC is in demand
Last, of all, HVAC is a great career choice because the market is booming, something that means there is plenty of demand for HVAC services.
In fact, there is an important reason why HVAC services are so popular right now. It is that many businesses are assessing their energy usage, and so looking to replace old models and systems with more efficient ones.
Indeed, as this reason isn’t likely to go away anytime soon, it is a good bet that the HVAC industry will remain robust, and so be a good bet for anyone looking for a stable and profitable career in the long term.
Final thoughts
HVAC offers a rewarding career for a range of people. It is also a stable industry with great potential for career progression, and so is more than worthy of your consideration.
