RIDGID 32985 Model 104 Close Quarters Tubing Cutter, 3/16-inch to 15/16-inch Tube Cutter

It seems much tougher than a similar shaped one I had for about 1/4 the price where the cutting wheel just fell off. It's worth spending a bit more and getting a tool that lasts. I've cut 3/8" and 3/16" copper-nickel and each one has been easy. It's small enough to work in situ in many cases as it only needs about 5cm clearance to turn

This cutter has proven much better than my previous cheaper pipe cutter. It is very robust and there is no wobble in the blade resulting in a clean and accurate cut.

Worked fine with 3/16" cupro brake pipe

Very Happy

These pipe cutters are not easy to use as it is hard to get a decent grip on them, I knew they were small, but I have used other makes that give a far better grip. Also, there is a fair bit of side to side movement on the cutting blade, not a good thing. These are not really any better than the cheapest ones you can buy. I have been a plumber for 40+ years and wouldn't recommend these, sorry !

Bought this to do Brake pipes but is not very good.

Very cute but high quality as described hopefully it's for long lasting usage!!!

Nothing to dislike, does the job

Cuts well but mechanism a little sloppy. Love that it fits in some pretty tight spaces. i don't need the tiny clearance of a fixed cutter for most jobs and this is the best adjustable tube cutter I've found in terms of quality. wish it was a little more rock solid with the mechanism, hence it's not five stars, but still would recommend.

Livraison Rapide, bon emballage, description exacte, remplit bien sa fonction, très bonne qualité.

The Ridgid Close Quarters Pipe Cutter was an absolute lifesaver when I installed a hot water recirculating pump. I’m not a professional plumber, but this tool made me feel like one. It’s compact, easy to handle, and perfect for working in tight spaces where a regular pipe cutter just won’t fit.The cutting process was smooth and precise. It tackled copper pipes with ease, leaving clean, burr-free cuts that were ready for my sharkbite fittings. I was impressed by how little effort it took to get a professional-quality result, especially with how quick and accurate it was! The solid construction of the tool feels durable, and it didn’t slip or wobble, even during multiple cuts.What really stood out was the convenience. The small design allowed me to maneuver in cramped areas without struggling, which was essential for installing the pump in my water heater system. If you’re tackling any plumbing project—whether it’s big or small—this tool is worth every penny.Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just a weekend DIYer like me, the Ridgid Close Quarters Pipe Cutter is a game-changer. It saved me time, effort, and a lot of frustration. Highly recommended!
