FAQs

What is the primary use for these cable cutters?

These cable cutters are primarily designed for cutting various types of electrical cables efficiently due to their high leverage construction.

Are these suitable for cutting steel wire?

These cutters are optimized for electrical cables. Cutting hard materials like steel wire may damage the blades and is not recommended.

How does the high leverage construction benefit the user?

The high leverage design means you need to apply less force with your hands to make a clean cut, reducing fatigue during extended use.

What makes the grip ergonomic?

The handles feature soft, non-slip material that conforms to the hand, providing comfort and a secure grip to prevent slippage during operation.

Can I use these for stripping wires?

These are specifically designed for cutting cables, not stripping them. Wire strippers should be used for that purpose.

How should I maintain the cutters for best performance?

Keep the blades clean, lubricate the pivot point periodically, and store them in a dry environment.

What is the length of the cable cutters?

The cable cutters are 180 mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Cutters feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean the pivot area and apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Ensure no debris is lodged in the mechanism.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Inspect the blades for any nicks or dullness. Clean the blades thoroughly. If blades are damaged, replacement might be necessary.

Handles feel slippery

Ensure hands are clean and dry. The soft grip is designed for comfort, but extreme wetness can reduce grip. Wipe down handles if they become contaminated.

Compatibility: Designed for cutting various types of electrical cables. Always ensure the cable material is suitable for cutting with this tool to avoid damage.

Care:
