Cable Cutter NWS NW2042 — hand tool for cutting electrical and communication cables

NWS NW2042 is a hand-operated cable cutter designed for precise cutting of electrical and communication cables. The tool delivers a controlled cutting action tailored for site work, enabling clean separation of single-core and multi-core conductors during installation and maintenance. Built by NWS, this cable cutter is intended for routine use by electricians and technicians who require a reliable hand tool for cable preparation and repair.

Advantages

The cutting head is shaped to provide a clean, burr-free cut while minimizing deformation of the conductor and insulation. Ergonomic handles offer a secure grip and reduce hand fatigue during repeated operations. A robust hinge and hardened cutting edges ensure long service life and consistent performance under typical workshop and field conditions. The tool is compact and portable, suitable for carrying in a technician's tool kit for on-site tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting single-core electrical cables
• Cutting multi-core communication and signal cables
• On-site cable preparation during installation and repair
• Routine maintenance and emergency cable replacement

Key specifications

• Hand-operated cutting mechanism for manual use
• Hardened cutting edges for durable performance
• Ergonomic handles designed for comfort and grip
• Suitable for a range of conductor types and insulation
• Compact, portable design for field work

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting jaws at the desired cutting point and squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the conductor is fully severed. For larger multi-core cables, make controlled, progressive cuts to avoid crushing the conductor cores. Inspect the cut to ensure a clean edge and remove any loose insulation fragments. Keep fingers clear of the cutting zone and store the tool with the jaws closed when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective results, use the cable cutter on appropriate cable diameters and types; avoid cutting steel-reinforced conductors or materials beyond the tool's intended capacity. Regularly check the cutting edges and hinge for wear, and replace or sharpen components as specified by maintenance guidelines. Use protective gloves and eye protection when performing cutting tasks.
