Overview
The Ridgid 40617 is a small cutter with a mostly plastic build, measuring 3.25 by 2 by 1 inches and weighing 7.8 ounces.
Ridgid's tool lineup runs from large pipe cutters to compact accessories, and this model's small footprint and plastic construction put it firmly in the lightweight, portable category rather than heavy pipe or conduit cutting gear. The listing doesn't specify what material it's designed to cut, so matching it to a specific job means checking the product page for that detail.

Who it's for
Suited to light-duty cutting tasks where a compact, easy-to-carry tool matters. Not intended for cutting metal pipe or heavy-gauge material, given its plastic build and small size.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact size at 3.25 x 2 x 1 inches
- Light at 7.8 ounces, easy to carry
- Plastic build, not suited to heavy-duty cutting
- Target cutting material not specified in the listing
Performance notes
The plastic-heavy build and 7.8 ounce weight keep this portable and easy to store, though it trades off the durability of an all-metal cutter for lighter jobs.
