-
RIDGID reliability, in a bright red package: instantly recognizable on busy job sites, with the trusted durability you expect from RIDGID tools.

Real-world use cases
- Replacing a worn tailpiece: trim to length for a perfect fit with the new extension or trap arm, preserving a tight seal with minimal waste.
- Installing an extension to align with a trap or valve: cut clean ends to ensure seamless connections and reliable compression fittings.
- Under-sink rebuilds: when space is limited, a dedicated tailpiece cutter makes quick work of plastic pieces without crushing or fraying ends.

Faster installs: the tool’s design accelerates cuts in tight spaces, reducing the need for rework and test fittings.
