If you work with copper, brass, aluminum, or plastic tubing around the house or on a job site, the Ridgid 151 Quick-Acting Tubing Cutter is the kind of tool that makes a short job shorter. This small-frame tubing cutter handles 1/4-inch to 1-5/8-inch tubing, and its X-CEL wheel pin lets you swap cutter wheels without hunting for a screwdriver. Weekend DIYers and professional plumbers alike will appreciate the firm-feeling X-CEL knob, the built-in fold-away reamer, and the I-beam construction that keeps the frame true after years of use.
This cutter is built around speed: the quick-acting feed mechanism advances the wheel with minimal turns, so you spend less time cranking and more time cutting. The fold-away reamer tucks into the frame for clean, round pipe ends that seat properly in fittings.
The Ridgid 151 is a classic small tubing cutter in Ridgid's lineup, and it earns its keep on soft copper and light-wall tubing. The 1/4-inch to 1-5/8-inch range covers common supply lines, refrigerant lines, and even plastic water pipe. The I-beam frame resists bending, so the cutting wheel stays square to the tube.
One of the most common questions about the Ridgid 151 replacement cutter wheel is how hard it is to swap. On this model, it's simple: the X-CEL wheel pin uses a ball-detent design that lets you pop the old wheel out and snap a new one in without tools, no clips to lose. That means less downtime when the cutting edge gets dull or nicked.
Before each connection, flip out the fold-away reamer to deburr the inside and outside edges. It's a step many DIYers skip, and it's the one that prevents leaks.
1/4 in to 1-5/8 in cutting range covers copper, brass, aluminum, and plastic tubing.

The 151 is a small cutter with a fast-acting feed. When you're on a ladder or under a sink, every turn of the knob counts. The X-CEL knob gives you a sure grip, and the fold-away reamer means you won't set the cutter down to find a deburring tool.
With a sharp Ridgid cutter wheel, this process goes fast and produces a clean edge that's ready for the fold-away reamer.
It cuts 1/4-inch to 1-5/8-inch tubing, which covers common copper, brass, aluminum, and plastic pipe sizes.
Press the X-CEL wheel pin and pull the old wheel out, then snap a new wheel into place. No tools are required.
Yes, it can cut plastic tubing within the size range. Use a light touch and let the cutter score evenly to avoid cracking rigid PVC.
Yes, the reamer folds into the frame when not in use, so it is always with the cutter.








Cuts copper pipe cleanly. The reamer is handy.
I've been a plumber for over 35 years and this is the smoothest cutter I've used. The quick-acting mechanism saves time, and the tool-free wheel change is brilliant. The reamer folds away neatly and doesn't get in the way. It makes a clean cut on copper, brass, and even plastic. The build quality is excellent. It's a professional tool that will last.
Works well, but the knob for tightening is a bit small. Otherwise fine.
I used it to cut PVC for a craft project. It worked perfectly.
This cutter is a pleasure to use. The wheel is sharp and makes a clean cut. The reamer is a nice bonus. I recommend it.
It works, but the handle is a bit loose. Not a big deal.
Cuts like butter.
I've used this for many projects and it still cuts perfectly. The metal parts are sturdy and the reamer is useful. The quick release is very convenient.
