Overview
The HSC86-4+1250 is a cutter with a polypropylene handle, weighing about 1.32 pounds, sized to work with wire in the 0.25 to 10 mm2 range.
The listed wire range of 0.25 to 10 mm2 (roughly 24 to 8 AWG) and the Ferrule brand name point to electrical or low-voltage wire work rather than general-purpose cutting. That range covers most common stranded wire gauges used in panel and cable work.

- Model HSC86-4+1250
Who it's for
Suits electricians or hobbyists who need a cutter sized for wire in the 0.25 to 10 mm2 range. Not the right tool for cutting larger cable or non-wire materials outside that range.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Wire capacity range clearly stated at 0.25 to 10 mm2
- Light weight at about 1.32 pounds
- Not suited to wire or cable outside the stated size range
- Blade material and cut life are not listed
Performance notes
Cutting capacity here is bounded by the stated 0.25 to 10 mm2 range, which covers common stranded wire gauges. At 1.32 pounds with a polypropylene handle, it stays light enough for repeated one-handed cuts.
