Ratchet Cable Cutter for Copper and Aluminium Cable
Key points
- Ratchet linkage multiplies hand force for one-handed cutting
- Hardened jaw shears copper and aluminium cable
- Exposed return spring and linkage for easy cleaning
- Compact head reaches cable in panels and trenches
- Contractors can cut and terminate cable at the point of installation instead of measuring back at the van, so a run is not left short
- On a rewire, a contractor can cut old cable down into short lengths for removal instead of dragging whole runs out of the building
- Staged jaw travel finishes a cut in a terminal box or trunking drop where the handles cannot open fully
- Red grips stay visible when the cutter is set down in a trench or a ceiling void, so it is less likely to be left behind at the end of a shift

Product detail
Ratchet cable cutter for copper and aluminium cable, built for electricians working at height or in a trench where a two-handed cut is awkward. The ratchet linkage takes one hand, closing the hardened jaw in stages instead of one forced squeeze, so a thick cable section parts without the operator leaning on the handles. The cutting head is a compact forged assembly with the jaw, linkage and return spring exposed for cleaning, and the red plastic grips stay manageable through a long shift of repeated cuts. It has become a standard item in electrical installation kits, panel-building workshops, motor-rewind shops and cable-harness production, where cable ends are trimmed all day. Supplied as a single tool, and a practical line for distributors serving the electrical trade. With the ratchet taking the effort out of the cut, a less experienced hand can be trusted to trim and terminate cable ends, which frees the qualified electrician to concentrate on the connections and testing. Electricians cut copper and aluminium cable this way because a saw would nick the strands; the ratchet action lets one hand apply steady pressure on a large conductor and leaves a square end ready for a lug. Because the jaw closes in stages, a cut can still be finished in a terminal box or a trunking drop where the handles cannot be opened fully in one movement. The exposed linkage and return spring also mean grit from a trench or a strip-out can be brushed out at the end of the shift instead of seizing the head.
