RIDGID Deburring Tool
RIDGID Deburring Tools: Precision Pipe Preparation for the Trades
When it comes to pipe and tubing preparation, clean, burr-free ends aren't just a nicety — they're essential to leak-free, long-lasting connections. RIDGID has been a cornerstone of the plumbing and pipefitting trades since 1923, and their deburring tools carry the same professional-grade DNA found across their entire tool lineup. Whether you're working with PVC, CPVC, or other plastic pipe on a commercial job or a weekend plumbing repair, RIDGID's deburring tools are engineered to deliver a clean, smooth pipe end every time.
Purpose-Built for Plastic Pipe & Tubing
RIDGID offers high-quality deburring tools specifically designed for plastic pipe and tubing, made of high-grade steel with specially-designed, long-lasting cutting edges. This focus on materials quality is a hallmark of the RIDGID approach — these aren't general-purpose tools repurposed for the job, but instruments engineered from the ground up for pipe work.
A slip-resistant vinyl hand grip keeps the tool comfortable and controlled, making it ideal for removing outside ridges and inside burrs on plastic pipe and tubing. That ergonomic detail matters when you're working in tight spaces or on a long run of pipe.
A Model for Every Pipe Size
RIDGID takes a systematic approach to deburring coverage, offering distinct models sized for specific pipe diameter ranges. The Model 72 (SKU 35155) handles plastic pipe capacity from 1/2" to 1-1/2", with plastic tubing ID capacity from 3/4" to 2-1/8". Step up to larger diameter work and the RIDGID #73 lets you cut away sharp burrs for a smoother fit on plastic tubing and pipes ranging from 1-1/2" to 3" in diameter. For even larger applications, the Model 74 is designed for 4" plastic pipes and tubing. This tiered range means professionals and DIYers alike can find a precise match for their pipe size rather than forcing a single tool to cover too wide a range.
The RIDGID Difference in Hand Tools
The Ridge Tool Company is an American manufacturer that has been making and distributing tools under the RIDGID brand name since 1923. RIDGID tools are targeted at the plumbing, pipefitting, construction, and HVAC trades, and the brand manufactures over 300 different types of tools. That depth of expertise in pipe-related trades means their deburring tools are designed with real-world jobsite demands in mind — not just lab specifications.
Quick, clean, and easy pipe preparation is the guiding principle behind RIDGID's reamers and deburring tool lineup. These high-quality tools are handy for when you need to deburr plastic, copper, aluminum, brass, and other types of tubing fast. When a plumber or contractor is mid-job and needs a tool that simply works without fuss, RIDGID's deburring tools consistently deliver.
Why Deburring Matters
Cutting pipe always leaves behind burrs — sharp, irregular edges on the inner and outer surfaces of the cut. Left unaddressed, those burrs can restrict flow, damage seals and O-rings, cause leaks at fittings, and create turbulence in fluid systems. A proper deburring step takes only seconds but can prevent callbacks and costly repairs down the line. RIDGID deburring tools feature a vinyl grip that is comfortable to hold and helps prevent slipping, with exceptional steel construction and cutting edges designed to last a long time.
