The Ridgid Heavy-Duty Pipe Cutter can cut through thick steel or stainless steel quickly and efficiently either by hand or with a power cutter. The extra-long shank of the cutter protects the pipe adjustment threads during use. When a complete turn is not possible, the internal rollers can be replaced with a third cutting wheel to enable the job to be completed without a different tool. The second handle on certain models enables two-man leverage when cutting through large pipe. The 3S Heavy-Duty Pipe Cutter has a 1 – 3” pipe capacity.
