An Overview
Like every electrician or plumber, you rely on your tools (whether power or manual) to sustain your business. When your Ridgid 300 Power Drive is down or a Greenlee 555 bender needs a new roller support, your downtime affects all your potential jobs, clients, and income. Professionally, you have always relied on OEM parts, from Ridgid or Greenlee, to keep your tools working. OEM parts are often expensive, have long delivery times and availability issues, and take time away from your actual work. Having access to affordable and feasible aftermarket options means you can keep your tools up and running and stay on the clock. Staten Tools is a reputable dealer and manufacturer of custom aftermarket replacement parts specifically created for your tools with considerations for strength, compatibility, and price. Whether you are looking for high-speed steel die sets, armatures, carriage levers, and much more, Staten Tools sells aftermarket replacement parts that may work better than OEM parts or at least comparable at a fraction of the price. This article will review why switching to an aftermarket option from Staten Tools will save time and money while maintaining productivity and profitability throughout your entire workload.
1. Cost Savings Without Compromise
One of the most convincing reasons to choose Staten Tools instead of an OEM part is to save money. OEM parts sell at a premium, due to name recognition and distribution exclusivity. A Ridgid 300 armature, for example, or a Greenlee 1800 bender roller support, can be in the hundreds of dollars and quickly start eating into your project budget. Staten Tools designs aftermarket products that produce the same results at a lower price. An aftermarket part typically sells for 20 - 30% less than its OEM equivalent, based on normal aftermarket pricing.
Statoil Tools has an highspeed steel die set for Ridgid Universal Die Heads. Die heads are designed for precision threading, up to 2-inch pipe, and many of them include competition from Ridgid machines: Ridgid 300, Ridgid 300 Compact, and Ridgid 535 Power Drive. Their die set will offer the same durability and performance as an OEM die set, allowing you to stock up on plenty of replacement parts for your threading machine without exhausting your budget. Staten Tools also produces jaw insert sets for Ridgid 44090 chuck jaws to keep costs down, while ensuring the threading machine can maintain a proper grip to perform clean cuts and handle pipe securely.
The savings are not limited to just individual parts. If you opt for aftermarket components, you can save the extra money to spend on something else important, like tools, additional staff, or a larger bid. For a small business or an independent contractor, these savings can quickly add up, so you can leverage that one purchase right out of the gate. Staten Tools demonstrates that comparisons made at lower price points don't equate cutting corners, instead, every part is made up of incredibly inexpensive materials like high-speed steel or alloy steel that will stand the test of time out in the field.
2. Faster Availability to Minimize Downtime
When you are in the trades, you know time is money. If you are waiting for an OEM part, weeks from now, it can mess up your timeline. OEM suppliers can get bottlenecked, backordered, or only have limited quantities, especially for older units like the Ridgid 535 or Greenlee 1800. Staten Tools solves this pain for tradespeople by carrying a huge inventory of parts available to ship anywhere in the USA from their website/eBay store. A constant supply of parts ready to ship provides reduced downtime and less time waiting to get back to billable work.
Imagine you are at a commercial plumbing job, working with a Ridgid 300 Power Drive, and in the middle of your project, the forward/reverse switch fails. If you had to order an OEM switch, it could take weeks, and you would either have to rent equipment or stall the job, which is frustrating for your client! With Staten Tools, you can order a compatible switch, and it will be there in days to keep your project moving. Their 4" feeding sheave for wire pulling is another great example. It is built to withstand bending, and it will work with the multiple rigs that electricians use today. And, it is a critical part that is always in stock, so that if you have long conduit runs or larger feeds, the electricians can get the proper feed sheave delivered unimpeded!
It's not just about convenience; it's about your reputation. Customers expect reliability, and Staten Tools allows you to deliver parts when it is worse needed. Whether through statentools.com or eBay, the ease of ordering means less time spent sourcing parts and more time getting the job done. For professionals who can't wait, Staten Tools supplies... - impact repair.
3. Compatibility and Versatility for Seamless Integration
A common question when purchasing aftermarket parts is about interoperability—will the parts fit my specific tool model? Staten Tools keeps this question out of the conversation by producing parts with the correct specifications for many popular pieces of equipment. Whether it is a Ridgid 300 Compact, a Greenlee 555 bender, or a Ridgid 141 Reciprocating Gear Threader, Staten Tool creates parts specifically for each model and designs them for immediate use. Their Ridgid 311 carriage lever is a good example; the lever is made out of high-grade alloy steel and matches the OEM’s dimensions, which allows use without installation or alterations.
This same idea also extends to versatility. Staten Tools’ products can often be adapted for various application purposes, thus improving your installation workflow. For example, their high-speed steel pipe dies for the Ridgid 141 can be used to thread 2-1/2" to 4" NPT pipes. These are good to have during large plumbing or industrial projects. The same holds for their roller supports for Greenlee 555 benders, which can connect to Current Tools set-ups, which creates flexibility across tool brands. Lastly, their metal carrying box for die head threaders is versatile enough to not only protect all of your dies but also to keep them in order and easily accessible—this set-up eliminates set-up time when you are working on busy job sites. Customer feedback illustrates this ease of use. Reviews on statentools.com include positive feedback on parts like the Ridgid 300 jaw inserts, indicating these parts generate “perfect fits” and “easy installation.” When you choose Staten Tools, you eliminate the headaches of mismatched components or awkward retrofitting, and you can be confident your tools will perform to the maximum. This compatibility and versatility make Staten Tools a trusted partner for professionals undertaking a variety of assignments.
4. Uncompromising Quality and Customer Support
Quality is not something negotiable for a craftsman who uses their tools every day. Staten Tools upholds this standard of quality by testing every single part to the same rigorous standards built into the industry. For example, their high-speed steel die sets are made to survive the brutal forces of pipe threading, giving extremely clean and accurate threads even when heavily used. The armatures for Ridgid 700 Power Drive come with durable bearings designed for multi-year smooth operation and motor longevity.
While product quality is paramount, Staten Tools positively distinguishes itself with its exceptional customer support. Where some OEM suppliers may have limited support with their service channels, Staten Tools achieves rapid response with customer support representatives who are eager to assist you and get your hands on the correct part you need for your tool. If you aren’t even sure which die set fits your Ridgid 535, or you are just not sure how to install the Greenlee version of the roller support, Staten Tools provides a team of experts happy to assist you through statentools.com and eBay. This customer support builds good faith, which allows the customer to be able to trust that they will never get stuck with a part or product they cannot use.
Selecting aftermarket parts from Staten Tools is also environmentally responsible. Their robust components are designed to last longer, which reduces the amount of waste and provides overall budget-friendly capabilities. Sustainable contractors keen on practices that enhance green efforts, and this is another small but effective way to support your eco-friendly business. Staten Tools provides value beyond the purchase with quality, support, and sustainability.
