Cable-cutting shears GEKO G01761 24" (10) — manual tool for cutting cables

GEKO G01761 24" (10) cable-cutting shears are a manual hand tool engineered for cutting insulated and bare cables on-site. With a 24-inch length, the shears provide increased leverage to handle routine cable trimming and cutting tasks encountered in electrical installation, maintenance, and general repair work. The blade geometry and solid handles are designed for straightforward, one-step cutting of medium‑duty cables.

Advantages

The long handles deliver enhanced mechanical advantage and reduce the manual force needed for cutting, while the hardened cutting edges maintain a consistent cutting performance. The construction offers reliable alignment of blades for clean cuts and minimal deformation of cable cores. The tool’s size and design make it easy to work in open spaces or on-site environments where a compact but powerful manual cutter is required.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated electrical cables and general-purpose wiring
• On-site electrical installation and maintenance tasks
• Trim and prepare cables for connectors and terminals
• Use by electricians, installers and maintenance technicians

Key specifications

• Overall length: 24 inches (610 mm) for greater leverage
• Tool type: Manual cable-cutting shears
• Cutting capacity: Suitable for medium‑duty cables and wire bundles (see manufacturer guidance for exact diameters)
• Blade material: Hardened cutting edges for durability
• Handle: Long handles designed for two‑hand operation to increase cutting force

How to use

Position the cable between the blades ensuring the cut is made at the intended point. Use both hands on the handles to apply steady force until the blades cut through the cable. For larger or multi‑core cables, make controlled, incremental cuts if needed to avoid crushing conductors. Inspect the cutting edges before use and maintain a stable working posture to ensure accurate and safe cutting.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection, and ensure the cable is not live before cutting. Regularly check blade condition and sharpen or replace the tool when cutting quality deteriorates. Store the shears in a dry place to prevent corrosion and preserve cutting performance.
