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

They cut well only complaint they open to wide on handles during one hand, over head ,standing on one foot operation

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.

So, the one star off is for a functionality issue. This thing works and cuts really well. But the latch that holds it close is... Not so good. It doesn't click into place or anything. It's clear they expect tension to hold it. Problem is what if it's in a tool bag and comes undone? And you reach in grasping for something? And your finger finds the blade? I didn't even realize I'd been cut until I saw the blood. There was a lot of that...So works great, good quality as far as I can tell, they need to do something about the latch. For my purposes, a rubber band works great.

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 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.

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

The add states made in the USAThat is not trueThey are made in ChinaI guess lieing about a product just to sell it is o k but for not meI pay more to get Made in USA and it is very disappointing to spend the extra money and be deceived
