RIDGID 30088 RC-2375 Aluminum 2" Ratchet Action Pipe and Tubing Cutter for Plastic and Multilayer Tubing, 1/8" to 2-3/8" O.D. Capacity, Small

Awesome durable Love them! (my fault) I’m on my 3rd pair of these cutters first purchased 11yrs ago - great quality, blade replacement is quick and painless Blades themselves hold edge n still cut straight even after misuse Lol -strong durable cutters -used as cutters hammer fitting prybar box tab cutters u name it I’ve put them thru it only time I’ve replaced is when the throat wears enough doesn’t seem to cut straight but stills cuts right thru pipe with ease …..that said not that great on 2”sch40 press.pipe but cuts foamcore like butter one handed

This thing really works well. It is costly and the replacement blades are expensive as well (something like 35 USD per blade) so not the best tool for heavy/professional use, but perfect for a DIY project. I used it to cut some schedule 40 1-1/2" ABS pipe for our new bathroom vanity plumbing and it cut very well and easily. Edges were clean and no filing necessary.The only criticism I have at all is that it is designed for up to 2" pipe and so smaller pipe will not fit/fill the contour of the curved metal holder that well, making it harder to center it for a really straight cut. With some practice it became easier but still not easy to make a perfectly cross section type cut. Nonetheless, this beats using a sawzall, hacksaw, dremel, or other tool. If you have space and a work bench with clamp, a sawzall is perfectly fine but this tool is still easier and can be used in tight quarters (e.g. I used it to cut existing pipe under the sink).Excellent tool overall and it made my vanity installation that much easier so 5-stars from me.

I purchased this Ridgid RC-2375 2-3/8" ratcheting pipe cutter after owning their similar RC-1625 1-5/8" version for a couple of years and have been very pleased with them. They are made with all of the same quality materials. The aluminum body and handle are lightweight, but strong and the tool-less blade change feature makes blade changes quick and easy. I noticed that the blade this cutter now uses has a black, low friction Teflon like coating on it, whereas the original blade design from a couple of years back just had a polished finish. So far, I've used them for cutting pressure rated SCH 20 and SCH 40 PVC as well as foam core DWV pipe, PVC electrical conduit, liquid tight flexible nonmetallic conduit, black polyethylene, PEX and clear vinyl tubing with equally good results, leaving nice clean square cuts. I find that larger size 1-1/2 and 2" PVC pipes need to be warmed up during cold weather before cutting or it has a tendency to crack from the sidewall compression these cutters can create. There is even a warning stamped right on the blade that says to cut pipe slowly when it is below 50-degrees F. These RC-2375 cutters can handle from 1/8" to 2-3/8" O.D. so are good for a full range of common pipe and tubing sizes.

Great

They work great. I use them daily and the blades still sharp. (Few months in).

Many times, you get what you pay for.This tool is no exception.Rigid was the Original Gangster of metal pipe manufacturing andpipe cutting tools. Back in the day you could always trust Rigid.That seems to hold true today. I have a 35 year old rigid PVC pipecutter that still cuts to this day, but it does have a nick in the blade.

I’m replacing 2 sump pumps and I figured this was an extravagance but I bought it anyway. I didn’t want a cheap one because of the many issues I have seen on YouTube and in Amazon reviews. I’m really glad I added this to the tool collection. I made a lot more cuts than I anticipated and this saved me a lot of time and effort. The cuts will not be perfect 90’, but they are more than close enough. Plus they are clean cuts versus a saw, which requires some cleanup of shards after each cut. I had to reach into some awkward spots to remove the old system, and that where this tool really paid off. I probably won’t use it again soon, but glad to have it.

This is my second pair past 20 years. Got a new one just because I wanted a clean pair.
