RIDGID 23493 Model PC-1375 ML Single Stroke Plastic Pipe and Tubing Cutter, 1/8-inch to 1-3/8-inch Pipe Cutter

I use these to get nice square cuts on my PEX tubing.. they work great!

I'm someone who uses these cutters all the time for cutting pex piping. Until I purchased this product I had been using a cheaper cutter that required precision and sometimes multiple attempts until I got the right cut.Why is it important to get a cutter that gets the cut right the first time? Well, when you're rolling out tens of meters of piping for new construction it's not so much of a problem. But when you're making a repair on an existing line you'll get yourself in a bind if you end up cutting off too much pipe to get it right! And sometimes you're holding the cutter sideways and in certain angles that makes it hard to get a precise cut.With these Ridgid cutters, due to the design of the cutter and and the blade (on my other cutters the blade wasn't set so well -- which was half the cause of the issues) you get a great cut with no skill required.I also like that it doesn't ratchet. Never liked the ratchet ones.

I built my house 3 years ago. Did most things, including the plumbing which used PEX water pipes for both hot and old. This little tool provided an easy way to cleanly cut PEX to needed lengths. If you are plumbing a house, I would highly recommend buying this tool. Even for small jobs, it is portable & affordable enough.

bought this to cut pex tubing. cuts tubing quickly and squarely.

I used this cutter to make a good 20 or 30 cuts in Pex supply lines. It works flawlessly. The Pex lines I was working with were 1/2" and the blade slipped through them like butter. Hardly any resistance. I haven't used the cutter for anything thicker as of yet, but I'm confident it will do it's job when the time comes.I read another review about keeping the grips locked when not in use - which is a good suggestion - otherwise the spring leaves the blade open and ready to cut. While I was working, I reached for this tool several times without remembering to lock it and almost paid the price.

Good tool. It advertises that it's good for cutting multilayered hose. I bought it to cut nylon air brake hose and it does not do a good job at cutting it. Was disappointed in that respect but it is a quality tool.

These cutters are the toughest out on the market. You’ll be cutting pipe for years if you don’t lose them first. Be ready to work those wrists though cuz when they start to dull you’ll have to give that pipe a twist. Strongest and longest lasting on the market. Strong enough to reclaim unpaid for material or even even take a greedy builders toe off right through his steel toed boots.

I really wanted to like this cutter:1. Made by Ridgid2. Non ratcheting3. Solid build4. PrettyBut the reality:1. Harder to start cuts compared to various ratchet cutters2. Difficult to finish cuts because the handles come so close together my hand runs out of leverage.I will go back to the Genova cutters I was using before.
