The RIDGID Model 104 close-quarters tubing cutter slices 3/16-in to 15/16-in hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing in tight spaces with clean, controlled cuts.
Categories : Tools & Hardware
SKU : WOR-TOO-209
The RIDGID Model 104 close quarters tubing cutter is built for plumbers, HVAC techs, and DIYers who work on small-diameter tubing in spots where a full-size cutter won't fit. It cuts hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing from 3/16 inch to 15/16 inch, making it a go-to tool for reaching into tight spaces behind sinks, under cabinets, or near finished walls.
The compact slide and wheel housing lets you work where space is tight, while the large knurled feed screw knob gives you easy control of cutting pressure for clean, square cuts. The cutter uses the standard RIDGID E-3469 cutting wheel, which is simple to replace when it wears.
With a 3/16-inch to 15/16-inch capacity, the Model 104 covers the small-diameter tubing most often found in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration work. It scores the tube evenly so you get clean, burr-free separation in one smooth motion.
The feed screw knob gives you smooth, gradual pressure so you can score the tubing evenly and snap it cleanly without crushing soft copper or leaving burrs. That's the difference between a job that looks professional and one that leaks.
RIDGID covers the Model 104 with a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. When the cutting wheel eventually wears down, a standard E-3469 replacement wheel keeps the cutter working like new.

Some cuts happen out in the open. Others happen against a wall, behind a valve, or in a cramped cabinet. The RIDGID Model 104 is made for those cuts.
Its short, compact body fits where standard tubing cutters can't, so you can make clean cuts without pulling tubing out of place. The large feed screw knob is easy to turn even with gloves on.
The standard E-3469 cutting wheel works on copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing. It's a common RIDGID replacement part, so keeping a spare on hand is easy.
When your cuts become rough or take more effort, it's time to replace the wheel. Just remove the feed screw and pin, swap in a new E-3469 wheel, and reassemble. It takes less than a minute and keeps your cutter performing like new.

The Model 104 uses the standard RIDGID E-3469 cutter wheel. Replacing the wheel is straightforward: loosen the feed screw, remove the old wheel and pin, install the new wheel, and retighten.
Yes. The Model 104 is designed for hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing.
Rotate the cutter around the tubing while gradually tightening the knurled feed screw knob. Use light, even pressure and let the wheel score the tubing before tightening further.
The lifetime warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for the tool. The cutting wheel is a wear item and can be replaced with a standard E-3469 wheel when it dulls.











Cuts clean.
Works perfectly on copper pipe. The wheel is sharp.
I'm a plumber and I've used many tubing cutters. This one is the best for close quarters. It gets into tight corners where others can't. The cutting wheel is durable and leaves a clean edge. The body is solid. It's a bit pricey but worth it for professional use.
Makes precise cuts. Even on aluminum.
As a homeowner, I needed a good cutter for a DIY project. This one was easy to use. It didn't deform the tubing. The retractable wheel is nice. It's compact and stores easily. I'm very satisfied.
Perfect cuts.
Great in tight spaces. The flip-down wheel helps.
This is a top-quality tool. The close quarters design is exactly what I needed. It fits between studs and in tight corners. The cut is smooth and square. The knob is easy to turn. Even after heavy use, it's still sharp. Excellent investment.
It's a little finicky but works well. The spring is a bit stiff.
Nice cutter.
I've used this on copper, brass, and even plastic tubing. It handles everything. The compact size allowed me to work in my kitchen sink cabinet. The cut is always clean. I recommend it to any DIYer.
