Product Information
Full details
The WORKPRO 190 mm Wire Rope Cutter is an essential precision tool for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require clean, burr-free cuts on various cabling materials. Its primary advantage lies in its drop-forged Cr-V steel construction and high-leverage design, which makes cutting through hardened materials feel effortless. However, users should note that the tool is strictly designed for wire and soft cable cutting; attempting to cut non-cable steel or exceeding the maximum diameter capacity may lead to blade damage.

FAQs
Can I use this to cut piano wire?
No. This tool is designed for steel and stainless steel wire rope, not high-tensile spring steel or piano wire, which can chip the hardened jaws.
What is the maximum diameter for copper cable?
The cutter is rated for copper and aluminum cable up to 5mm in diameter.
Does the tool come pre-lubricated?
The tool is treated during manufacturing, but we recommend applying a light coat of oil periodically to keep the action smooth.
Can I sharpen the jaws?
The jaws are heat-treated for hardness. Attempting to sharpen them with standard files may remove the hardened layer and decrease tool life.
Is the handle insulated for electrical work?
No. The handles are ergonomic for leverage, not insulated for high-voltage electrical protection.
Troubleshooting
The cutter leaves frayed wire ends.
Ensure the wire is fully seated within the throat of the jaws and use a swift, firm squeeze rather than a slow, hesitant action.
The jaws feel stiff or difficult to open.
Check the expansion spring for debris and apply a small amount of machine oil to the pivot screw.
The lock mechanism does not stay engaged.
Clear any metal dust from the locking groove and ensure the handles are fully closed before sliding the lock into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required. To maintain the tool:
- Cleaning: Wipe away metal shavings and debris after each use to prevent interference with the spring mechanism.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a drop of machine oil to the pivot point and the expansion spring to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Always engage the locking lever before placing the tool in a toolbox to protect the edge of the blades from contacting other metal tools.
- Compatibility: Only use this tool for its intended materials: stainless steel wire (up to 4mm), steel wire (up to 4mm), copper/aluminum (up to 5mm), and soft cable (up to 6.5mm).
