From the company’s beginning, REED associates have invented tools that continually become industry standards, including the Quick Release™ Tubing Cutter, various tools for plastic pipe, vises, plus Hinged Cutters™ and Rotary Cutters for large diameter pipe.

In addition to new tools, each year REED makes end-user driven improvements and refinements to existing tools. The “Best Ever” designation is given to a tool whose quality, benefits, or performance has been significantly improved over all previous versions. These continuous improvements are advantages to buying REED. 2021 brings more additions and improvements to the breadth and depth of REED’s tool line. Recent additions include the Bevel Boss™  Cordless Pipe Beveler, Pump Stick® Water Transfer Pump, True Peel® PE Pipe Preparation Tools, and several more. Nearly every REED tool is the best of its kind in the world, outlined in “Why Reed” statements.
