The RIDGID 118 w/Handle (32573) 2-in-1 Close Quarters AUTOFEED Tubing Cutter is supplied with a ratchet handle to allow for easier cutting in tight, restricted spaces. With its rugged and compact design, the handle can be attached to the cutter and operated in ratchet steps as small as 10 degrees. This allows for fine indexing of the cutter to operate in tight spaces.

The ratchet handle provides more flexibility and mobility while keeping the AUTOFEED features of the model 118 Cutter, which is designed to cut hard and soft copper, aluminum and brass. The cutter is equipped with a self-feeding AUTOFEED cutter wheel that automatically cuts after tightening the knob only once. The strong, lightweight slide and wheel housing, and large knurled feed screw knob give easy control of cutting pressure for clean cuts. In addition, the rollers include grooves for close-to-flare cuts, while the special knob allows for easier tightening of the feedscrew.
