Master your jobs with ease and accuracy with the RIDGID RC-1625 Ratchet Action Plastic Pipe and Tubing Cutter (catalog number 30088, model RC-1625). Designed for plumbing experts, this powerful pipe cutter makes it easy to perform clean, precise cuts to the exact length needed on a variety of plastic and multilayer tubing including PVC, CPVC, PP, PEX, PE, and rubber hose with a 1/8" (3 mm.) to 2-3/8" (63 mm.) outer diameter capacity. Built to save labor, the cutter's ratcheting mechanism combined with the advanced blade design work together to reduce the amount of hand force needed to cut through even the toughest of plastic materials.

Bought these for my husband while he plumbs our new home, and he is THRILLED! Working in a crawlspace is NOT his favorite thing to do, but these cutters make the plumbing job more efficient and kept saying, "I should've gotten new cutters years ago!" Definitely worth the price and I promise, you will be saying the same thing.

I had to re-plumb my 1 1/2" pool heater pipes myself, and this took it from an agonizing several week job to an easy afternoon project. Now I use it to make quick work of lawn irrigation pipe repairs and under-sink work. It works great even in tight spots. This tool has saved me hundreds on calling out a plumber--just buy it, it's more than worth it!

Die Schere hat es nicht geschafft, pp Rohr mit dn50 x 2,5mm zu scheiden. Für knapp 130 Euro hätte ich das schon erwartet. Ich habe mehrere scheren zur Auswahl bestellt und eine 19 Euro Schere ist genauso gut verarbeitet und scheidet das Rohr, nicht gerade, aber sie kommt problemlos durch. Keine Kaufempfehlung

I’m replacing 2 sump pumps and I figured this was an extravagance but I bought it anyway. I didn’t want a cheap one because of the many issues I have seen on YouTube and in Amazon reviews. I’m really glad I added this to the tool collection. I made a lot more cuts than I anticipated and this saved me a lot of time and effort. The cuts will not be perfect 90’, but they are more than close enough. Plus they are clean cuts versus a saw, which requires some cleanup of shards after each cut. I had to reach into some awkward spots to remove the old system, and that where this tool really paid off. I probably won’t use it again soon, but glad to have it.

This thing really works well. It is costly and the replacement blades are expensive as well (something like 35 USD per blade) so not the best tool for heavy/professional use, but perfect for a DIY project. I used it to cut some schedule 40 1-1/2" ABS pipe for our new bathroom vanity plumbing and it cut very well and easily. Edges were clean and no filing necessary.The only criticism I have at all is that it is designed for up to 2" pipe and so smaller pipe will not fit/fill the contour of the curved metal holder that well, making it harder to center it for a really straight cut. With some practice it became easier but still not easy to make a perfectly cross section type cut. Nonetheless, this beats using a sawzall, hacksaw, dremel, or other tool. If you have space and a work bench with clamp, a sawzall is perfectly fine but this tool is still easier and can be used in tight quarters (e.g. I used it to cut existing pipe under the sink).Excellent tool overall and it made my vanity installation that much easier so 5-stars from me.

I purchased this Ridgid RC-2375 2-3/8" ratcheting pipe cutter after owning their similar RC-1625 1-5/8" version for a couple of years and have been very pleased with them. They are made with all of the same quality materials. The aluminum body and handle are lightweight, but strong and the tool-less blade change feature makes blade changes quick and easy. I noticed that the blade this cutter now uses has a black, low friction Teflon like coating on it, whereas the original blade design from a couple of years back just had a polished finish. So far, I've used them for cutting pressure rated SCH 20 and SCH 40 PVC as well as foam core DWV pipe, PVC electrical conduit, liquid tight flexible nonmetallic conduit, black polyethylene, PEX and clear vinyl tubing with equally good results, leaving nice clean square cuts. I find that larger size 1-1/2 and 2" PVC pipes need to be warmed up during cold weather before cutting or it has a tendency to crack from the sidewall compression these cutters can create. There is even a warning stamped right on the blade that says to cut pipe slowly when it is below 50-degrees F. These RC-2375 cutters can handle from 1/8" to 2-3/8" O.D. so are good for a full range of common pipe and tubing sizes.
