Reed’s 700PD Power Drive is a portable, electric-motor-driven, heavy-duty power drive which provides power for threading pipe and conduit up to 2” (50 mm) in diameter. It uses Reed R12+ Segmental Dies and Dropheads or Ridgid ® brand 12R dies and dropheads. The 700PD comes with a FREE safety arm. The vinyl-coated handle provides better electrical safety. The sealed switch keeps dirt out which prolongs switch life. The 700PD is ½ horsepower, double insulated, turns at 28 RPM no load and uses electrical forward/reverse switch. Reed’s 700PD is approved for US and CSA Canadian standards. The 700PD can be used to power hot tapping and drilling machines by adding Reed’s TMPDA Power Drive Adapter. It can also be used to power Reed Valve Operators in conjunction with the VOKClutch .
