Ridgid 31642 / Model 152 Quick-Acting Tubing Cutters
Rapid Adjustment for High-Speed Precision Cutting
The RIDGID 31642 Model 152 is engineered for professionals who value speed without sacrificing accuracy. Featuring a unique Quick-Acting design, this cutter allows the user to slide the I-beam track into position against the tube instantly—eliminating the need for tedious manual cranking. Once in place, the screw-feed mechanism takes over to provide a clean, square, and burr-free cut.
Built for the rigors of the jobsite, the Model 152 is constructed from a high-strength zinc alloy that is both lightweight and incredibly durable. It includes the X-CEL® system, featuring an oversized knob for better grip and a ball-detent wheel pin for tool-free blade changes in seconds. Whether you are working with copper, brass, aluminum, or thin-wall conduit, the Model 152 is the fastest way to get the job done right.
Why the RIDGID Model 152 is the Professional Choice:
- Quick-Acting Slide: Move from 1/4" to 1-5/8" capacity in a split second with the push-button release.
- X-CEL® Performance: Oversized handle knob provides more leverage with less hand effort, even while wearing heavy gloves.
- Integrated Reamer: Includes a heavy-duty, fold-away steel reamer for cleaning pipe IDs immediately after the cut.
- Spare Wheel Included: A spare cutter wheel is stored conveniently inside the X-CEL® knob so you're always prepared.
- Large Capacity: Versatile enough to handle tubing from 1/4" to 1-5/8" (6 mm to 42 mm).
