Ridgid - CC247 RIDGID 40617 Model 101 Close Quarters Tubing Cutter, 1/4-inch to 1-1/8-inch Tube Cutter Silver

I bought this after purchasing a cottage that needed some plumbing work. I've never been much of a plumber, but I was trying to save money by tackling some projects myself. After watching a few YouTube videos, I picked this up and found it very easy to use. The cutter worked exactly as expected. Every few rotations, you tighten it slightly and continue cutting. Eventually you'll hear the pressure release from the pipe, give it one more small adjustment, make a few more passes, and the cut is complete. The cuts were clean and consistent. For other beginners, make sure you shut the water off and open a few faucets in the house before cutting to relieve any remaining pressure in the line. Overall, this made a job that seemed intimidating much more manageable. If you're a DIY homeowner doing occasional plumbing projects, it's a worthwhile tool to have on hand.

Very durable , compact , easy to use . Very well built

Great compact pipe cutter. I used it to cut down some mountain bike handlebars that I bought and this tool worked great. Small size is handy.

I’m really impressed with this RIDGID tubing cutter. The build quality feels solid in your hand and the compact size makes it easy to work in tight spaces where a full-size cutter just won’t fit. It cuts smoothly and consistently. I’ve had great results on copper without deforming the tube. The large knurled adjustment knob gives you good control over cutting pressure, so you get clean, square cuts instead of crushed or jagged ends. I also like that the rollers have grooves for getting close to flare fittings, and the spare cutter wheel stored in the knob is a smart touch for working in the field. After using cheaper cutters that wear out or wander off the cut line, this one is a big step up in both precision and durability. If you do any plumbing, HVAC, or general maintenance work and need a reliable tubing cutter for tight quarters, this is absolutely worth the money.

Where is the spare cutter wheel like it says on the package? Otherwise the tool looks good.

does the job

I used this in my first ever home project involving more serious plumbing (replacing a hot water heater), and it cut 3/4" copper pipe with no issues whatsoever.

This is the first time using that kind of tools. It worked good for cutting copper pipe even used one. Recommend it!

Cómodo y práctico

It works really well. Very good quality sturdy little tool that does a great job.

Ferramenta muito robusta, bem construída e fácil de usar. O corte fica preciso e limpo, e a regulagem funciona muito bem. Dá para perceber a qualidade e a resistência da RIDGID. Excelente ferramenta para quem busca durabilidade e desempenho profissional. Recomendo!

Buen producto y vendedor , todo perfecto.

Grab this thing most of the time, small enough to fit inside Walls, knob isn’t completely round so it’s easy to turn with sweaty hands. I’ve cooked it with the torch well brazing using it to hold back insolation still works like a charm. Only draw back is it weighs the same as my big pipe cutter but for how versatile and tough it is that doesn’t matter.
