C-Style Close Quarters Copper Tubing Cutter is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 6.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tixio from Great simple idea 2 cutter in 1 I bought the first one about 2 years ago, As I love the tool, I purchase 3 more last December, Unfortunately the x-cel pin holding the blade, which is made for an easy change of the blade, tend to come off while cutting the pipe, and 2 out of 3 were lost inside building voids. The pin hasn’t a code number, as spare part, and the cutter hasn’t a Serial N for the registration. After several attempt try to contact customer service, and requested gone nowhere, eventually a very nice person in the London office, is trying to solve the problem. I didn’t received yet the spare pins to be able to repair the faulty cutter, but as promised today the parcel was delivered and should be with me in the next 2 days. I definitely recommend this hand tool, but be aware of the 3 issues: X-cel pin easy to come off No code number for spare part Unable to register the product which is life warrantee. . I hope this feedback give the chance to Ridgid to solve the problem for future updated models. Tiziano @ MA4 Plumbers

Rated 5 out of 5 by JJSJ from LOVE this . I no longer need to have these two seperate. Use this alot in repairing plumming in apartments. I love that I can use it in-between walls , ceiling or on a tub if I need . Would love to see more sizes made.

Rated 1 out of 5 by imacmanillinois from Maybe look at other brands. Got this for some remodel work that I knew had some existing tight spaces and looked like a good solution to make the job easier. Nice that it works on 2 sizes. Remodel work was weekends only. A month into it, the cutting wheel assy. broke. Disappointed in how easily it broke, and also with the customer service response. I've moved RIGID off my top choice list when looking for quality tools.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FoxTech from Best Tubing Cutter This is hands down the most useful tubing cutter I have ever used, especially in tight spaces. The all metal design holds up well, especially in my plumbing box.
