Reliable Flow Control with REED’s Double Squeeze™ PE Tools

REED Double Squeeze™ PE pipe tools feature a double bar design that delivers superior flow control and increased squeeze confidence for ½” to 6” pipe diameters, ideal for gas and water lines. Engineered with user feedback, these squeeze tools include hand grooves for easy lifting, reduced weight for better handling, and a low-effort squeeze mechanism. Sliding bar handle enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, while the fine-pitched feed screw ensures a smooth, consistent squeeze. Grease fittings at friction points improve performance and extend tool life, while anodized or painted aluminum bars offer protection against the elements.

Nothing stands for toughness like Takeuchi. Because on any job site, when other machines are breaking down, a Takeuchi is still breaking in. It never complains, asks for a break or wants the day to end. All it wants is to keep at it. Keep working. Even when the job's done, because now it just wants the next one. As the toughest member of your crew, it simply won't quit unless you haul it away. And probably not then, either. Dig into our lineup of excavators, track loaders and wheel loaders. You can also check out our robust dealer network, Takeuchi Fleet Management and genuine parts. https://www.takeuchi-us.com/
