Ridgid Pipe Cutter

If you have a pipe that needs to be cut, there is a Ridgid pipe cutter to safely handle it. Ridge Tool Company first made their heavy-duty pipe wrench more than 85 years ago, in 1923. Upon that success they are now a highly regarded international firm. One thing that brings back Ridgid customers, and creates new ones, is their lifetime guarantee. "RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty: Should your tool ever malfunction from defects in workmanship or materials, we will repair or replace the tool free of charge." Period.

Another advantage in going with Ridgid is you will always have a wide selection of tools and accessories from a single supplier. You can also be assured they will be forever on the cutting edge in designs and innovations. Know you are buying tools that are built and designed to provide efficient and safe use the first time, every time. Ridgid is renowned for the exclusive features they have incorporated into all of their product lines so you get the job done quickly, safely, and right.

As for their product line for pipe cutters, there is more than can be completely covered in this short blurb, so this will just be a highlight of the categories and some examples. To start, they class their cutters by the type of task they are designed to accomplish. For instance, under "Pipe/Tube Cutting & Preparation" you will find a list of Pipe Cutters.

They further class these by models: "Heavy Duty" has 7 models that will cut 1/8 to 6 inch diameters. These include cutters that can cut by hand or be powered, have extra long shanks and handles and can operated by two people for extra stability. Three wheel cutters are available for close-quarters work. Another class is "4-Wheel Pipe Cutters", again for tight working conditions and has two models. The "Wide-Roll" model is designed for power drives for pipe 1/8 to 2 inch. Then there are 11 "Hinged Pipe Cutters" for making small work of steel and cast-iron pipes from 2-12 inches. "Soil Pipe Cutters" come in 5 distinct models for cast iron, concrete and clay pipe 1 1/2 to 8 inches, especially designed for work in close quarters and with 'in-place' pipes. To make the work even more productive, they have 2 torque wrenches, a 5/16 or 3/8 inch drives that will ratchet to 60 or 80 pound torque, respectively, for insuring proper no-leak couplings. Finally, there are 21 varieties of cutter wheels to complete the package. Remember, a single supplier for all your needs.

I have come to believe there is not a pipe that Ridgid can't handle. That is evident when looking at the two "Power Pipe Cutting Machines" for the toughest materials and pipes from 2 1/2 to 12 inches. They offer 2 "Dry Cut Saws" for a variety of cutting most anything, including 12-14 inch pipe of nearly any material. 

To round out this quick overview of finding the right Ridgid pipe cutter, dropping down to "Tubing Cutters", you will find a whopping 24 models in 9 sub-categories for cutting 1/8 to 6 5/8 inch tubing. Ridgid recognizes not all the cutting projects are going to be made in the backyard. Many of these are designed explicitly for restricted working spaces. Then, rest easy because there are 19 different replacement cutting wheels. Finally, if you will be working with plastic pipe sized 1/8 to 2 3/8, look for any of their 5 "Plastic Pipe Cutters." Just know one thing, if you need to do something with pipes, you can get it done with Ridgid.
