RIDGID® Adds New Larger Capacity Stainless Steel Cutter to Its Product Line
ELYRIA, OHIO - April 2009 - A new RIDGID® Model 65S Stainless Steel Quick-Acting tubing cutter for making quicker cuts to stainless steel and other metallic tubes such as steel, zinc, copper and aluminum, has been recently added to the RIDGID stainless steel product line.
The tubing cutter features the X-CEL® knob, a larger, ergonomic knob, which gives the user a more firm grip allowing more force to be applied to cut through tubing faster and easier. With a spare wheel stored in the knob, the X-CEL® wheel pin allows for quick wheel changes with no tools required.
The user friendly RIDGID 65S Stainless Steel Quick-Acting tubing cutter's lightweight design, quick-acting mechanism and spring quick return allows the cutter to adjust rapidly from 1/4-inch to 2 5/8-inch diameter tubing. The Model 65S cutter can cut tubing with a wall thickness of up to 1/8 inch. The tubing cutter's roller bearings reduce friction and increase cut speeds, giving strong and smooth support of tube cutting.
"The rollers and cutters of the 65S Stainless Steel Quick-Acting tubing cutter were designed specifically for stainless steel applications," said Kennia Papadakis, director of marketing, hand tools and general purpose. "As a result, users will be able to achieve cleaner, smoother and more accurate cuts when using stainless steel tubing."
The 65S Stainless Steel Quick-Acting tubing cutter is backed by the RIDGID lifetime warranty.
