Overview
The RIDGID 32985 is a cutter with an aluminum body, weighing 5.3 ounces and sold as a pack of one. RIDGID is best known for pipe and tubing tools, and the light aluminum build here fits a compact, portable cutter rather than a heavy-duty shop tool.
No seller description or review text is attached to this listing, so the exact material it is rated to cut is not confirmed beyond the aluminum body and light weight. Buyers who need a specific cutting capacity, such as tubing diameter, should check the product listing photos or manual before ordering.

Performance notes
