KLEIN TOOLS 63215 High-Leverage Compact Cable Cutter, Forged from Durable Steel, Ideal for Cutting Aluminum and Copper Cable

Product Information

Cable Cutters, or Cable “Croppers” as trades professionals would commonly call them, are used on a daily basis to cut cable but also strip easily any sized cable using the stripping notches at the top of the blades. Why we like it: We like the INNETOC Aluminum Copper Ratchet Cable Cutter because it's an affordable ratcheting cable cutter. It's perfect for use around the house and cuts through aluminum and copper with ease. Like screwdrivers, cable cutters are diverse tools. They’re designed to cut through cable, but most jobs require a specific tool for the job. This makes it challenging to find the right cable cutter for the job because cables are made from aluminum, steel, copper, and other metals. I find this cable cutter easy to use because it has Code Blue grips for durability and comfort. These rubbers help the user have a tight hold on the tool. So, it doesn’t slip off. These grips are handy for most cable technicians. I think these handle wraps serve as another level of insulation and protection as well. Known to be one of the leading cable cutter brands, the Crescent H.K. Porter Wire/Cable Cutter holds a reputable image in the field of tools and hardware. With a sleek design, this product lets you take a firm grip of the levers with one hand only. Also, it has vinyl-covered handles for added durability and comfort.

The INNETOC Aluminum Copper Ratchet Cable Cutter is a well-made cable cutter perfect for cutting through aluminum and copper. The ratcheting head makes it easy to cut on difficult angles, and the blade is durable. The blade is made with high-carbon steel that keeps it from rusting, and it remains sharp, even during prolonged use. I find this cable easy to use. It has an ergonomic structure intended to minimize stress on the user’s hands. On the upper half are thumb catches that let you operate using one-hand. Plus, there is a supple spring between the levers for more comfort. That way, I spend less effort working with cables and wires. The 160mm version high leverage design cuts and strips up to 9 mm/50mm² aluminium and copper cable with ease. The bigger version 210mm in length, cuts and strips up to 11mm/70mm2.

I love bringing this cable cutter with me because it’s not hard to carry. It only weighs 1.5 lbs, which is lighter than most small wire cutters. I find it portable as well because it has a length of 7.5 inches only. That way, I can always be prepared when I need to repair something far from my toolbox. Shopping for a cable cutter can be confusing. With this guide, let me share with you factors to consider when buying these tools.

I think this cable cutter is also a dual-purpose one. Not only does this product have sharp cutting edges, but it comes with a built-in crimper as well. This part is responsible for conjoining two pieces of metal, reforming housing ends, and other uses that may be deemed necessary.
