## Description

RIDGID 40617 Model 101 Close Quarters Tubing Cutter, 1/4-inch to 1-1/8-inch Tube Cutter : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Seems tough and cuts well - 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this cut 1" brass pipe?  The Outside diameter of 1" brass pipe is 1.32".  Thanks.**
A: Its maximum opening ability is 1 and 1/8 inch so although it will cut copper it does not sound like it will open wide enough.

**Q: I'm digging up a water main that's copper and is thicker than hvac copper.  Will this cut it nice and clean?  It's 3/4".**
A: Yes, it will cut up to 1-1/8"

**Q: Can this cut most pipes?**
A: Yes, it can cut most pipes.

BW2

**Q: How close to a fitting will this get to for a cut?**
A: Not sure...  but I can tell you that the tool body is 1" wide (blade is positioned in middle), the football shaped knob is 1 5/16" at its widest point and the height of the tool is 2 5/8" to about 3" depending what size tube you are cutting.
