The tool is lightweight (825 g) and compact (320 mm) for easy handling and use in confined areas. A fixed handle includes a support area for stable placement while cutting. Forged, oil-hardened special tool steel ensures durability.

How to use

Position the pliers so the cable sits fully between the cutting edges. For larger diameters, use the ratchet-drive in stages until the cable is cut; the mechanism increases leverage and reduces required hand force. The fixed handle with support area allows stable placement during cutting. Do not use the pliers on steel wire, wire ropes or materials other than copper and aluminium conductors.

Usage recommendations

Inspect cutting edges regularly and keep them clean and lightly oiled to maintain cutting performance. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure the cable is de-energized before cutting.
