40617 Close Quarters Tubing Cutter, 1/4 To 1-1/8 In.

The Ridgid 40617 Close Quarters Tubing Cutter is purpose-built for cutting small-diameter tubing in confined spaces where a standard cutter won't fit. Whether you're working with hard or soft copper, aluminum, brass, or plastic tubing, this compact tool delivers clean, precise cuts. The grooved rollers are specially designed to cut close to flares, making it ideal for plumbing repairs and installations where space is tight.

Restricted work areas present unique challenges that demand specialized tools. The strong slide-and-wheel housing combined with lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended use, while the large knurled feed screw knob gives you control over cutting pressure.
