I'd recommend the sharp-disk type tubing cutter; there's no
mess, and it's a lot safer than power tools. You know what
I'm talking about, right? Looks like a C-clamp, presses a
groove around the pipe which then easily snaps in two?

Like this?

Holy ****, Batman! Get a load of this technological wonder:
"QUICKER CUT! Bigger, better knob allows you to cut tubing more
quickly!"

Shame on Ridgid for that kind of crap.

They win a Searz Horsepower Award.

Nah. The ratchet gizmo on that cutter allows you to
close on to the tubing RFN instead of endlessly
twisting the knob. That is a *nice* feature and
pretty darned zippy to use.

That little tidbit of info is not in the writeup on the site. Read
what's there and you'll agree, it's poor, cheesy, and bogus
advertising.
