The new Ridgid 238-P Powered Soil Pipe Cutter weighs 13.5 lbs. and measures 11.5โณ long and is designed to make it easier for plumbers and mechanical contractors to quickly cut soil pipe (cast iron) in hard-to-reach spaces. We could see this being a life-saver in areas like the rafters of a building or when youโre below grade and donโt have much room to maneuver. The tool is made to attach to a ยฝโ impact driver and it uses a chain to cut no-hub cast iron, even clay pipe, or even service weight cast iron up to 8โณ in diameter (not to mention up to 6โณ diameter concrete pipe). Since itโs just 11.5โณ long and has a removable handle, you can work in areas that may have been near-impossible before.
Ridgid 238-P Powered Soil Pipe Cutter Features
The Ridgid 238-P also features a two-way motor, so you can score the pipe before cutting itโsomething that helps make cleaner cuts. As a safety precaution, the tool includes a maximum torque limit to protect it from overloading during use.
The Ridgid 238-P Soil Pipe Cutter seems like a great tool for those jobs where the pipes are hard to reach or simply located in areas where you canโt get at them easily enough with more conventional tools. Since the tool can handle cutting pipes up to 8โณ in diameter, mechanical contractors and plumbers should find it a tool theyโll want to at least take a look at and possibly add into their arsenal. The time and hassle-savings could be significant.
Ridgidโs 238-P Powered Soil Pipe Cutter comes with lifetime warranty against material defects and workmanship.
