Ridgid 32825 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a pipe cutter in a wall cavity where I can't get a full turn around the pipe?
That is what the 3-wheel setup on the 2-A is for. With three cutter wheels gripping the pipe, you only need to rock the cutter back and forth rather than swing it a complete revolution, which is the usual problem in a joist bay, a wall chase or against a finished surface. The 2-A is configured as a 3-wheel cutter by replacing the standard rollers with a cutter wheel.
2) What is the difference between a single-wheel and a 3-wheel pipe cutter, and which should I buy?
A single-wheel cutter uses one wheel plus two rollers and needs to be rotated all the way around the pipe, which gives a cleaner cut with less deformation when you have open access. A 3-wheel cutter like the Ridgid 2-A replaces the rollers with cutter wheels so it scores on three sides and only has to be rocked a partial arc. Buy the 3-wheel version when you work in tight spaces or on in-place pipe; the single-wheel style is the better pick for bench or open-air cutting.
3) Is the Ridgid 2-A made in the USA? We have domestic-content requirements on government work.
Yes, the 2-A pipe cutter is manufactured in the United States. If your purchase order carries a Buy American or domestic-preference clause, country of origin on this tool is listed as United States.
4) What part number do I order for the Ridgid 2-A 3-wheel pipe cutter?
Order Ridgid catalog number 32825, model 2-A. One configuration, 3-wheel, covering 1/8 inch to 2 inch pipe, so there are no handing, size or finish options to specify on the order.
5) How heavy is the Ridgid 2-A pipe cutter to carry in a tool bag?
It is 7 lb. That is a one-hand tool you can keep in the bag or on the belt rather than a shop fixture, but it is heavy enough that the cast frame takes repeated jobsite abuse. Cutting capacity runs 1/8 to 2 inch.
6) Why does the Ridgid 2-A have such a long shank, and does it actually matter on a jobsite?
The extra-long shank keeps the adjustment threads shielded from dirt, grit and knocks. On a cutter that lives in a bag with pipe dope and metal shavings, buggered threads are the usual reason the tool stops adjusting smoothly, so the protected shank is what keeps the feed screw turning freely over years of use. The oversized adjustment handle also lets you take up and release the pipe quickly between cuts.
