Ridgid 33970 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes with the Ridgid 33970 part, a pin or a clip?
Both. The Ridgid 33970 is a cutter wheel pin and retaining clip set, sold together as the genuine OEM hardware that holds the cutter wheel in the frame. The pin is the axle the wheel turns on and the clip keeps that pin from walking out under load, so you get the two pieces you need to put a wheel back in service rather than just one.
2) My Ridgid parts diagram calls out Ref. No. 11 for the cutter wheel pin. Is that this part?
Yes. Ridgid identifies the 33970 cutter wheel pin and clip as Ref. No. 11 in its parts diagrams, so if the exploded view for your cutter points at item 11 for the wheel pin, 33970 is the number to order.
3) My Ridgid cutter wheel wobbles and the cut is drifting off square. Do I need a whole new wheel?
Not necessarily. A wobbling or misaligned wheel is often the pin or the retaining clip, not the wheel itself. The 33970 pin and clip set is what holds the wheel in position and keeps it tracking true; if the pin is bent or the clip is missing, the wheel will have play even though the cutting edge is still good. Replacing the hardware first restores alignment without buying a wheel or a tool.
4) Is the Ridgid 33970 a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Ridgid OEM service hardware, built to the same specifications as the components that shipped in the tool. That matters on a wear pin, because an undersized or soft aftermarket pin lets the wheel float and ruins the cut.
5) Is the Ridgid cutter wheel pin and clip made in the USA? We have domestic-content purchasing rules.
The 33970 cutter wheel pin and clip is manufactured in the United States, which is what buyers working to domestic-sourcing requirements need on record.
6) Can a plumber swap the cutter wheel pin in the field, or does the tool have to go back to a service center?
It's a field swap. The pin and clip are meant to be changed during routine tool maintenance with the cutter in hand, so a service truck can carry a couple and keep a cutter working instead of pulling it out of rotation.
7) Should I stock the Ridgid 33970 in a preventive maintenance kit?
It's a sensible stock item for an MRO or field-service kit. Pins get bent and clips get lost on a jobsite, and without them a good cutter wheel is useless. Ridgid lists this set for maintenance and repair of its pipe cutters and for replacement of worn or damaged cutter wheel hardware, so a few on the shelf cover the most common reason a cutter stops cutting clean.
