Why professionals choose this cable cutter
Durable Cutting Edge
Chromium-vanadium steel blades hold a sharp edge cut after cut while resisting wear and corrosion — perfect for repeated professional use.
Precision Capacity
Designed to slice cleanly through wire rope up to 5/32" (0.156"), giving a clean end suitable for ferrules, swage, and sleeve terminations.
Ergonomic Grip
Rubberized, ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue and improves control for accurate cuts in tight spaces.
Polished Finish & Compact Size
Polished look with a compact footprint (3.54 x 2.36 x 0.79 in) — easy to store in a toolbox or attach to a tool belt.
How to use — safe, correct cutting in 3 steps
- Inspect the cutter: Confirm blade condition and that the cutting capacity suits your cable diameter (≤ 5/32").
- Position the cable: Place the wire rope neatly between the jaws, close to the head for the cleanest cut. Ensure hands and fingers are clear of the blades.
- Squeeze firmly: Apply steady pressure until the cable is severed. For multi-strand or thicker rope near the capacity limit, make a deliberate cut rather than quick pulses for best results.
Pro tip: For a finished end ready for ferrule/crimping, finish the cut by dressing stray strands with a file or small grinder and apply a quick protective wrap while preparing the termination.
Maintenance & care
- Wipe blades clean after use to remove residue or metal shavings.
- Lightly oil pivot and blade surfaces periodically to prevent rust and keep operation smooth.
- Store in a dry place; use the original packaging or a protective sleeve to avoid damage to the blade edge.
- Do not attempt to cut materials beyond the rated capacity — doing so may damage the cutting edge and void performance expectations.

FAQ
Q: Can this cutter cut stranded steel cable used in rigging?
A: Yes — it is specified to cut wire rope up to 5/32". For thicker cables, use a cutter rated for higher capacity.
Q: Is this tool suitable for stainless steel cable?
A: Yes — chromium-vanadium steel blades are appropriate for stainless and galvanized wire rope within the rated diameter. Expect more wear when cutting harder stainless alloys; maintain and sharpen as needed.
Q: Does it come with a warranty?
