jake c.: First off the quality is great it held up to the abuse. I use it to cut thin wall stainless tubing and it's a straight even cut every time.

Jonas: Sehr gut verarbeitet. Mit innovativer Schnellbetätigung zum öffnen (beim drücken schnellt der Griff durch Federkraft nach hinten) und schließen (einfach nach Griff nach vorne führen). Eine Ersatzmesserrolle ist im Griff untergebracht. Die Messerrolle lässt sich schnell wechseln. An der Stelle großes Lob an den Hersteller.
Jedoch kann man die 12 Rollen nicht ohne weiteres heraus nehmen. Wenn man sie z.B. richtig reinigen möchte. Dann müssen die Haltebolzen aus dem Gehäuse geschlagen werden.
An der Stelle hätte ich mir die gleichen Schnelllösebolzen wie dem an der Messerrolle gewünscht.

Das Werkzeug ist relativ teuer für je nach dem welchen Einsatz man es und vor allem Dingen wie oft man es verwenden muss. Ist eher schon etwas für den professionellen Metallbereich oder jemanden der privat viel Schweißt und dafür perfekt die Rohre zurecht schneiden muss.

John D. Reading: I had the idea of making wind chimes out of electrical conduit. Cutting to the correct length is critical, and using a cutoff wheel on a grinder was difficult and error-prone. This allows me to cut very precisely, and it is very easy to use. I am very happy with it.

Neil Maller: I bought the Ridgid 31803 65S tool to cut hard stainless steel tubing (18 gauge wall thickness and 2-⅛" diameter) for a race car exhaust project. A tubing cutter like this makes a very clean cut compared to a hacksaw, and if it works is easier to use.

And oh yes, it really works. The tool's frame is solid and free of unwanted deflection, while the rollers and cutting wheel are smooth and friction free in use due to their rolling element bearing construction. The very first cut I made was flawless, and only took a couple of minutes. Using the screw knob, apply firm pressure to the cutting wheel against the workpiece, then roll the tool back and forth around the tube's diameter, retightening to maintain cutting wheel pressure as the cut progresses. There's no need to apply excessive pressure — use only enough to maintain cutting.

The instructions say that the tool can handle material thickness up to 3 mm. I wasn't able to try that, but on my 18 gauge tubing it was flawless. There's a spare cutting wheel in the handle, but I bought a couple of extras to have on hand (about $15).

Marcel: Good quality cutter that works on Copper tubing and cuts copper like butter. The ball bearings keep the tube turning without effort. Gave it 4 stars because this particular cutter is made in China.

Jenny L. Clark: I needed this to cut down the too-tall stainless steel table legs on my two 30 x 96 tables (12 legs total). This WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!! I was worried I wouldn't have enough hand strength or that it would "walk" too much to cut straight. THIS WAS EASY AND ACCURATE!!! LOVE IT!!! I ABSOLUTELY, without any reservations, RECOMMEND this product!!! QUALITY. :)
