Its wide line of available tools include service line, direct tapping, and drilling machines, plus the Feed Tap™ for work on plastic service lines.

For nuisance water, the Pump Stick^® cordless transfer pump whisks away at 15 gallons per minute. The battery platform of the Pump Stick allows it to work with various 18V batteries, depending on the plate installed.

In the field, the Bevel Boss^® cordless pipe beveler is a fast, safe way to bevel on-the-go on pipe diameters from 2” up through 24” and higher.

A cordless power drive (CPDWW) is offered specifically for waterworks use in tapping and drilling jobs. It can also be adapted for valve exercising.

To round out the line, Reed also offers pipe cutters, polyethylene (PE) squeeze tools, emergency shut-off tools, valve keys, traditional valve exercisers, pumps, specialty wrenches, flare tools, portable tripod pipe vises, pipe jacks, and more.
