Cable cutter Dedra 12P020 — handheld tool for cutting electrical cables, 1 pc pack

The Dedra 12P020 cable cutter is a handheld cutting tool designed for precise cutting of electrical and communication cables. Supplied as a single-piece pack, this compact tool suits professional installers, electricians and maintenance technicians who require a manual, portable solution for on-site cable preparation, repairs and routine cable management tasks.

Advantages

This cable cutter features a compact design that enables one-handed operation in confined spaces and on-site environments. Hardened cutting jaws provide consistent, clean cuts on copper and aluminum conductors and common insulated cable jackets, reducing the need for secondary stripping or trimming. The tool's ergonomic handle improves grip and control during repeated use and helps reduce operator fatigue during short- to medium-duration tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical power cables and multi-core communication cables during installation
• On-site repairs and cable replacement work in residential and commercial settings
• Routine cable management, trimming of excess cable length and preparatory cable cutting before termination

Key specifications

• Type: handheld manual cable cutter
• Intended materials: insulated electrical conductors and common communication cable jackets (copper, aluminum)
• Pack: single unit (1 pc)
• Form factor: compact, portable design for field use
• Handle: ergonomic for improved grip and control
• Cutting jaws: hardened for durable, clean cuts

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting jaws at the required cutting point, taking care to keep fingers and loose clothing clear of the blades. Squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the blades have completed the cut, then release. For best results, ensure the cable is supported and held taut to prevent crushing or deformation of the conductor. After cutting, inspect the cable end for a clean, square cut before proceeding with stripping or termination.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, when cutting live or recently de-energized cables. Verify that cables are de-energized and follow local safety procedures before cutting. Store the cutter in a dry place and periodically inspect the cutting edges for wear; sharpen or replace the tool if cuts become uneven.
