Description
Waterworks Ratchet Wrench for Three Reed Tool Families
Product Overview
The Reed SCFR ratchet wrench is a 1/2 square drive ratchet wrench that connects to three Reed tool families. It drives SC49 ratchet soil pipe cutters, provides manual input for portable roll groovers, and hand-tightens Reed extended sockets instead of an impact wrench. At 15 in. overall, this 1/2 inch male square drive wrench delivers the leverage needed for pipe work.
Key Features
- Three-Tool Compatibility. The Reed SCFR ratchet wrench connects to SC49 soil pipe cutters, portable roll groovers, and Reed extended sockets through a standard 1/2 square drive ratchet wrench interface.
- SC49 Soil Pipe Cutter Wrench. Drives the ratchet mechanism on all SC49 models (SC49-6 through SC49-15), applying chain tension to snap cast iron, clay, and concrete pipe in close quarters.
- Ratchet Wrench for Extended Sockets. Provides a manual drive alternative as a ratchet wrench for extended sockets when an impact wrench is unavailable. Fits all Reed EDS-series sockets for hex nuts on repair clamps and MJ fittings.
- Roll Groover Wrench. The SCFR is the roll groover wrench for Reed portable roll groovers including the RG6S. The 15 in. length and 1/2 in. drive provide consistent manual input for standard rolled grooves.
What Does the SCFR Wrench Drive?
SC49 Ratchet Soil Pipe Cutters
The SCFR ships with every SC49 ratchet soil pipe cutter as the included soil pipe cutter wrench. Reed's SC49 models use a chain-snap method to cut cast iron soil pipe, clay pipe, and concrete pipe from 1-1/2 in. to 15 in. diameter. The SCFR drives the ratchet mechanism that draws the chain tight and applies the snapping force. If you need a Reed SCFR wrench replacement for an SC49 kit, this is the same wrench included at the factory.
Portable Roll Groovers
Reed portable roll groovers like the Reed RG6S Portable Roll Groover accept a 1/2 in. square drive input for manual operation. The SCFR wrench provides the leverage and fit to turn the groover rollers by hand when a power drive is not connected. This makes the SCFR practical for field work where manual grooving is the only option.
Extended Sockets
Reed extended sockets (EDS series) have a 1/2 in. square drive and are typically powered by an impact wrench. The SCFR is a 1/2 inch male square drive wrench that fits directly into the socket's drive receptacle for hand tightening. Use it to secure hex nuts on repair clamps, mechanical joint fittings, and saddles when controlled torque is preferred over power tools. For available sizes, see the Reed EDKS6 Extended Socket Set.
Applications
- Municipal crews using SC49 cutters to snap cast iron soil pipe during line repairs
- Utility workers hand-tightening extended sockets on repair clamps and MJ fittings with a ratchet wrench for extended sockets
- Plumbers and pipefitters operating a portable roll groover on-site without power drive
- Waterworks ratchet wrench duties where a 1/2 square drive ratchet wrench provides controlled manual torque on pipe fittings

Frequently Asked Questions
What wrench comes with a Reed SC49 soil pipe cutter?
Every SC49 ratchet soil pipe cutter ships with the Reed SCFR ratchet wrench (Item Code 40208). It is a 1/2 in. male square drive wrench that drives the ratchet cutting mechanism. If yours is lost or worn, this listing is the same wrench.
What is the Reed SCFR wrench used for?
The Reed SCFR wrench drives three Reed tool types: SC49 ratchet soil pipe cutters, portable roll groovers, and extended sockets. All three share a 1/2 in. square drive connection, so one wrench operates all of them by hand.
Can you use a ratchet wrench with Reed extended sockets?
Yes. Reed extended sockets have a 1/2 in. square drive receptacle that accepts the SCFR ratchet wrench for manual tightening. This is useful when an impact wrench is unavailable or when controlled torque is needed on repair clamps and mechanical joint fittings.
What size wrench for Reed roll groover?
Reed portable roll groovers use a 1/2 in. square drive input. The SCFR is the factory-recommended roll groover wrench for manual operation. Its 15 in. length provides enough leverage to turn the groover rollers by hand during field work.
Is the Reed SCFR available as a standalone replacement?
Yes. While the SCFR ships with every SC49 soil pipe cutter, it is also sold separately as a replacement for the Reed SCFR wrench. Order the SCFR (Item Code 40208) to replace a lost or damaged wrench or to keep a spare for field crews.
