Hand cable cutter YATO YT-2260, 125 mm length, red/black handles

YATO YT-2260 is a compact hand cable cutter with a total length of 125 mm designed for precise manual cutting of cables and small conductors. The tool combines a short jaw span and ergonomic red/black handles to provide control and visibility when working in confined spaces. The cutter is intended for electricians and maintenance personnel who need a reliable hand tool for trimming and preparing cable ends during installation, repair or routine service tasks.

Advantages

The cutter’s compact 125 mm length allows access in tight locations where larger tools cannot reach. Hardened cutting blades deliver clean cuts on soft and multi-strand cables while minimizing deformation of conductor ends. The red and black handles offer improved grip and visibility on a busy workbench or in low-light conditions, and the overall balanced design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting operations.

Suitable for

• Cutting small-diameter electrical cables and multi-strand conductors
• On-site electrical installation and maintenance tasks
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
• Trimming cable ends before crimping or termination

Key specifications

• Total length: 125 mm for compact operation
• Cutting head: hardened blades designed for clean cuts on small conductors
• Handle design: red and black ergonomic grips for control and visibility
• Tool type: manual hand cable cutter intended for precision cutting

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades close to the mark where the cut is required. Squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the blades close completely through the conductor. For multi-strand cables, use controlled pressure to avoid crushing the conductor; if necessary, rotate the cable slightly and complete the cut with a second squeeze to ensure a clean end. Inspect the cut surface and remove any loose strands before terminating or crimping the cable.

Usage recommendations

Use the cutter for its intended purpose on cables within its capacity. Wear appropriate hand protection when working with sharp blades and inspect the tool regularly for blade wear or damage. Avoid cutting hardened steel or materials not intended for this tool to preserve blade life and maintain cutting performance.
