KSN Cable Cutting Tools

A cable cutter is a hand tool made with curved blades to cut cables with copper and aluminum conductors without crushing them or scattering the cores. It is used in panel building, cable pulling, power distribution and construction site work to cut cable to the desired length and to obtain a clean cut face before a lug or splice. The category includes Gwest and Isıso cutters, with cutting capacities such as 60 mm², 120 mm², 240 mm² and 500 mm² and models that can cut armored cable and steel-core aluminum conductor. Choose according to the conductor material, whether the cable is armored or steel-core, the largest cross-section or cable outer diameter to be cut, and the tool length. The cutting range is a value the manufacturer gives separately for each material; the capacity given for copper is not considered valid for steel-core conductor or steel braided wire. A cutter specified only for copper and aluminum does not replace a cutter made for cutting steel wire, steel rope or armored cable; for these materials you need models clearly stated in the product data.
