The Klein Tools 63050 Cable Cutter is a heavy-duty single-handed cutter with shear-style blades shaped to slice through stranded aluminum and copper cable without crushing the conductor flat. Crushed cable doesn’t seat right in a connector, so a clean cut matters as much as a fast one. The blades are precision-ground and induction-hardened to keep an edge through thousands of cuts.
It’s the cutter pulled out for service-entrance cable, large feeder runs, and communications work where the gauge is too heavy for a diagonal cutter and too light to justify a full bolt-cutter setup. The cushion-grip handles absorb shock through the cut, and the compact head lets the cutter work in panel boxes and pull cans where a longer tool doesn’t fit.
Klein Tools has been making hand tools for electricians and tradespeople since 1857, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The Journeyman and Standard pliers lines — along with many of Klein’s cushion-grip screwdrivers — are forged and finished in the United States, and clearly marked as such, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
