Cable cutter Gedore 7686180

Gedore 7686180 cable cutter with slender head designed for work in confined spaces. The tool features induction-hardened precision cutting edges with a hardness of 63–65 HRC and is intended for cutting medium-hard wire up to 1.6 mm. Made from Gedore special hardened and tempered steel, drop-forged, oil-hardened and annealed; available with chrome-plated (JC) or steel-grey with blue dipped non-slip (TL) two-component handles. The cutter is lightweight (approx. 146 g) and suitable for professional and DIY use.

Advantages

Slender head allows access in tight areas. Induction-hardened cutting edges ensure long-lasting sharpness and reliable cuts on medium-hard wire up to 1.6 mm. High-quality Gedore hardened and tempered steel construction provides durability and resistance to wear. Two handle finish options (chrome-plated JC or steel-grey TL with blue non-slip grips) offer corrosion protection and comfortable handling. Lightweight design reduces user fatigue during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Cutting medium-hard copper or other wires up to 1.6 mm diameter
• Electrical installation work in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
• General workshop and maintenance tasks requiring precise cable cuts

How to use

Position the slender head of the cutter around the wire to be cut, ensuring the cutting edges fully enclose the conductor. Apply steady hand pressure to close the handles until the wire is severed. For multiple or thicker cuts, inspect the cutting edges periodically and avoid twisting the tool while cutting to preserve the induction-hardened edges. Use the non-slip handles for a secure grip when working in confined or elevated positions.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the cutter on hardened steel, piano wire or steel rope; the tool is designed for medium-hard wire up to 1.6 mm. Keep cutting edges clean and, if necessary, lightly lubricated after use. Store in a dry place to protect the finish and prevent corrosion.
