The RIDGID Model 101 is a compact close-quarters tubing cutter built for tight mechanical rooms, coil cabinets, and other restricted spaces where a full-size cutter will not fit. Its small zinc body and large knurled feed knob let you apply even cutting pressure with one hand, producing clean, square cuts on 1/4″ to 1-1/8″ OD tubing without crushing the tube or leaving a large burr. Grooved rollers allow cuts close to a flare or fitting, which reduces wasted material and extra fittings on copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic lines. A spare E-3469 cutter wheel is stored in the knob so you can keep working if the first wheel dulls on the job.
