The RIDGID Model 101 Close Quarters Tubing Cutter (40617) is the plumber's pick for cutting tubing where full-size cutters just won't fit. Its compact slide-and-wheel housing reaches into tight corners, while the knurled feed screw knob gives you precise pressure control for clean, burr-free cuts on hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing. Each cutter comes with a spare wheel, so you're always prepared for the next job.
The hardened steel cutter wheel is self-feeding once the knob is tightened, making quick work of 1/4-inch to 1-1/8-inch tubing. Need a replacement? The Model 101 uses the standard RIDGID cutter wheel, and we carry compatible replacement wheels so you can keep this tool running for years.
With its short body and angled head, the 101 fits in cabinet bays, under sinks, and behind toilets. It's a must-have addition to any service bag.
Compact head fits tight spaces where standard cutters can't.
Cuts hard/soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing.
Knurled feed screw knob gives precise control for clean cuts.
Durable steel construction stands up to daily jobsite use.
Includes spare cutter wheel to minimize downtime.

When the wheel gets dull or gets nicked, switch it out in seconds. Use a small screwdriver to remove the wheel pin, slide off the old wheel, and drop in the replacement. A fresh wheel gives cleaner cuts and reduces the force needed.
The Model 101 uses RIDGID wheel part number 40827 (or equivalent). We carry compatible wheels; a spare is included with this cutter.
It's designed for metal and some plastic tubing, but it works with plastic as long as you apply light pressure. For heavy plastic, use a plastic-specific cutter.
Yes, the close-quarter design fits between wall studs and in tight cabinets where standard cutters won't swing.
Turn the knurled knob clockwise to tighten the wheel against the tube. Rotate the cutter around the tube, tightening as you go.
The Model 101 shares features with 117 and 118, but has a standard knob. The 117 features a special quick-closing knob.
Cuts tubing perfectly.
Great little tool. It fits in tight spots.
As a plumber, I need a cutter that can get into cramped angles. This close-quarters cutter is a lifesaver. It easily slices through copper and PVC. The spare wheel is a nice bonus. The construction feels solid. It's much better than trying to use a full-size cutter in tight spaces. I keep it in my pocket.
I used this for a DIY plumbing fix. It made a clean cut.
Handy tool.
My husband is a handyman and he loves this cutter. He says it's perfect for tight spots under sinks. It's well made and easy to use. The spare blade is a thoughtful addition. He's used it on both copper and PEX. He's very happy with the purchase.
Good cutter. Works well. I've had it for months.
Very practical.
This cutter is small but mighty. It cuts through brass pipe easily. No more struggling.
I bought this to replace a cheap cutter that kept breaking. This RIDGID is way better. It's precise and comfortable to use. The wheel is sharp and cuts cleanly. It also has a nice locking mechanism. I've used it on several projects already. Great investment.
