Our verdict

A workable choice for wire and light cable cutting, where the hardened 68 HRC blade and light polypropylene grip matter more than heavy duty bolt capacity.

Overview

A 68 HRC blade sits inside the iCrimp CWR's polypropylene handle, a hand cutter sized for material up to 6mm in diameter and built for wire and cable work.

A 68 HRC hardness rating is on the harder end for a hand tool blade, which is typically how a jaw stays sharp through repeated wire cuts rather than relying on brute leverage. The polypropylene handle keeps overall weight down compared with a forged all metal grip, a common tradeoff on cutters aimed at wire and cable rather than bolts.

  • Blade hardness: 68 HRC
  • Handle material: polypropylene
  • Rated cutting size: 6mm
  • Model: CWR

Who it's for

Works for electricians and cable installers who need a compact cutter for wire or cable up to roughly 6mm, not for anyone cutting bolts or rebar.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Blade hardened to 68 HRC for edge retention
  • Lightweight polypropylene handle
  • Sized for material up to 6mm
Cons
  • Not built for thick bolts or hardened rebar
  • Overall length and jaw type aren't listed

Performance notes

A 68 HRC rating puts the CWR's edge on the harder side for hand tools, which is generally how a jaw keeps its sharpness through many wire cuts rather than adding raw cutting force. The polypropylene handle keeps the tool light in the hand, at the tradeoff of the heft a forged steel handled cutter would add.
