## Summary description

Designed to cut cables and wires cleanly, it offers corrosion resistance and stable cutting performance for electrical, installation and maintenance work.

## Long description

YATO YT-1966 is a hand cable cutter with a 160 mm overall length and a red insulated handle. Constructed from chromium-vanadium steel, the tool is intended for cutting copper and aluminium cables and multi-core wires in electrical, installation and maintenance tasks. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for work in confined spaces and for inclusion in portable tool kits.
Advantages
The chromium-vanadium steel construction provides elevated hardness and wear resistance while maintaining a slim profile for access in tight areas. The precisely ground cutting edges deliver clean cuts with minimal deformation of conductor ends, and the corrosion-resistant finish helps preserve performance in humid environments. The ergonomically shaped red handle improves grip and control during repeated operations, contributing to consistent cutting quality.
Suitable for
Cutting copper and aluminium electrical cables and multi-core wires
Installation and renovation work in residential and commercial electrical systems
Maintenance tasks requiring a compact, portable cutting tool
Working in confined spaces such as switchgear cabinets, junction boxes and conduit runs
Key specifications
Overall length: 160 mm
Material: chromium-vanadium steel
Handle: red, ergonomic grip
Cut type: shear-type cutting edges for clean conductor separation
Finish: corrosion-resistant coating
How to use
Position the cable between the cutting blades at the required cutting point, aligning the conductor perpendicular to the blade edges. Squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the blades complete the cut; avoid twisting motions that can damage the conductors. For thicker cables, make controlled, progressive cuts rather than forcing the tool in a single stroke. After use, wipe the blades clean and store the cutter in a dry place to maintain cutting performance.
Usage recommendations
Use the cutter for electrical conductors within the tool's capacity and follow applicable safety regulations, including de-energising circuits before cutting. Regularly inspect the blade edges for nicks or wear and sharpen or replace the tool when cutting quality deteriorates. Do not use the cutter on hardened steel, nails or other materials outside its intended purpose.
