Used this to cut curtain rods
Perfect for cutting curtain rods to fit an awkward sized bay window. It was so easy to use, made a clean cut on the rods I needed shortened to fit my bay window. the only thing that was difficult was getting enough torque to spin the cutter around the rod. The rods were 3/4 inch diameter and some were 1/2 inch. I really had to hold the rods tightly to get enough grip to spin the cutter around. Besides that minor issue, the pipe cutter made clean cuts and I was happy I didn’t need to use a hacksaw. My curtain rods fit perfectly now. Neat little tool I will keep for other things, takes up very little space.

Beast of a tool! Works perfectly!
The Ridgid pipe cutter is a beast! It makes clean, precise cuts through copper and other pipes with minimal effort. The build quality is top-notch – you can tell it's made to last. I especially appreciate the smooth cutting action and the convenient retractable reamer. If you're a plumber or DIYer who works with pipes, this Ridgid cutter is an essential tool.

Top notch little pipe cutter.
It worked perfect where I had pipe in a tight situation under a concrete sidewalk. I don't think anything else would have worked. As always with ridgid these cutters are quality.

it's okay
Cons:- Not taking off a star for this because the product is advertised to cut soft metals like aluminum and copper and I needed them to cut off some length off of my 4130 chromoly steel material bike handlebars. I've managed to successfully use this cutter for one set of chromo handlebars but do not for the second set I'm trying to cut. I'd assume I've dulled the blade.- Minus one star because it is way too hard to find info on how to replace the blade. No, I know where the replacement blade is located and removing that is just unscrewing a screw - really simple, but how do I remove the dulled blade I'm trying to replace?? I've tried removing the "clip" that holds the pin in but it's not working. I've searched online and checked the manufacturer website, and while I do appreciate that they offer a blown up diagram of the parts and seem to sell each part separately, no info on how to remove the blade in use...Pros:- Relatively easy and intuitive use- Well designed, cuts straight and doesn't wiggle around if you seat the tubing right- lightweight and doesn't take up space- good cost-point

Ridgid #1
Ridgid is the best in the copper cutting game. I had the Milwaukee 3 pack of small diameter cutters before and they didn’t last nearly as long as these have. A must have for every plumbers arsenal.

Nice sharp pipe cutter
Great small cutter with an extra blade. Recently, I bought a cheaper cutter from another common tractor store and its blade so dull it wouldn’t cut tubing. This one was sharp and did what it’s intended.

Nice Cut
Easy to use, compact, smooth and fast cut on copper tubing, and fair price point.Recommended.
