A valuable addition to any toolbox, the RIDGID 23498 Ratcheting Plastic Pipe and Tubing Cutter easily cuts plastic and multilayer tubing to the length you need. The pipe cutter has an X-CEL quick change blade design for tool-free blade changes in seconds, without any lost clips or misplaced screws.

This advanced blade design combined with the ratcheting mechanism reduces the amount of hand force needed to cut through hard plastic material. Thus, the "burr-less" cutting operation provides a square cut with less effort.

Handy ergonomic grips on the bottom handle are spaced at 1⁄2-inch increments to act as a quick pipe measuring scale. Built to last, the ratcheting tubing cutter is constructed in durable aluminum, suitable for heavy-duty use and has easily replaceable cutting blades.

This versatile pipe cutter has an 1/8-inch to 1-5/8-inch O.D. capacity and is suitable for use with plastic (PVC, CPVC, PP, PEX, PE, rubber hose) and multilayer tubing. The RC-1625 makes an ideal pvc pipe cutter.

RIDGID covers its products with a lifetime warranty against defects in material or workmanship for the life of the tool.

Since 1923, RIDGID has remained the symbol of certainty to dedicated professionals of the expert trades. Every tool that bears the RIDGID brand is engineered to the same high standards of quality, strength and endurance, as was that first heavy-duty pipe wrench more than 80 years ago.
