Ridgid 41703 Foam Core Cutter

This manual foam core cutter handles ABS and PVC materials up to a 1 1/2 inch cutting capacity. The tool measures 13 1/2 inches in length and weighs 0.22 lb. A stainless steel blade and plastic body provide durability for plumbing tasks. An extra blade is included in the package.

Plumbers cutting foam core pipe

The lever-handle design suits professionals making quick, clean cuts on foam core ABS and PVC pipe. Users who need to cut solid-wall pipe, larger diameters, or different materials should look at other tools. The manual action requires physical effort for each cut. It is not a powered or ratcheting device.

1 1/2 inch maximum cutting capacity

This single specification decides whether the cutter matches the pipe size on the job. The tool only accommodates foam core up to this limit. Larger pipe requires a different cutter. Verify the pipe outer diameter before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much space does the 13-1/2 in length need in a toolbox?

The foam core cutter measures 13-1/2 inches long, so allow at least that much straight clearance in a toolbox or drawer for it to lie flat.

What step is often missed when fitting the included extra blade?

Align the replacement stainless-steel blade with the lever handle slots and press until it clicks; skipping the click leaves the blade loose during cutting.

When should the stainless-steel blade be swapped out?

Replace the blade when it no longer makes fast, clean cuts in foam-core ABS or PVC, using the included extra blade to restore cutting performance.
