Overview
An electrician or solar installer cutting heavy feeder cable gets a ratchet cutter that closes in short strokes with one hand. The jaw holds the cable tight for a clean, round cut, and a quick-release lever opens it mid-cut.
Ratchet leverage cuts thick cable with little effort and no crushed ends. It is copper and aluminum only, so steel wire or wire rope will damage the blade.
Who it's for
Electricians, RV and boat wirers and solar installers get clean cuts on large cable. Riggers and fence builders cutting steel need a steel-rated cutter.
Pros and cons
- Cuts thick cable with little force
- Clean cut without crushing
- Hold-open spring speeds work
- Compact for tight panels
- Not for steel wire or rope
- Not for live wires
- Slower than shear cutters on thin wire
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Each squeeze advances the blade a notch, so the high gear ratio trades speed for force on thick cable. Holding the cable tight in the jaw prevents crushing and leaves strands round for lugs. Steel strands are harder than the blade is meant for and can chip it.
