Overview

The RIDGID Model 35S is a tubing cutter rated for stainless steel tubing from 1/4 inch up to 1-3/8 inch, weighing 227 grams for one handed use.

Despite the word tubing in the title, the category listing and cutting capacity confirm this is a cutter rather than the tubing itself. The 1.38 inch figure in the specs lines up almost exactly with the 1-3/8 inch maximum stated in the title, so it reads as the tool's top cutting capacity rather than an unrelated measurement.

  • Stainless steel rated
  • 227 gram weight
  • RIDGID Model 35S

Who it's for

Fits a plumber or fabricator who regularly works with stainless steel tubing in the 1/4 to 1-3/8 inch range. Not the right tool for cutting tubing outside that size window, or for cutting non stainless materials where a different wheel may be needed.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Rated specifically for stainless steel tubing
  • Covers a 1/4 inch to 1-3/8 inch cutting range
  • Light at 227 grams for one handed use
Cons
  • Limited to tubing within its rated size range
  • Not intended for materials other than stainless steel

Performance notes

A dedicated cutting wheel sized for stainless steel tubing gives cleaner, more consistent cuts within its rated 1/4 to 1-3/8 inch range than a general purpose cutter would manage on the same material, and the 227 gram weight keeps it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
