Powerful joint, long handles, and optimized blades: noticeably easier cutting than with a compact cable cutter. High cutting performance: cuts solid copper or aluminum cables up to 35 mm², stranded cables up to 70 mm², and fine-stranded cables up to 120 mm². Two cutting areas: the step cutting edge holds small and larger cables close to the connection point during cutting, while the front cutting edge gradually cuts through very large cables. Easy one-handed or two-handed operation with minimal grip opening for large cable diameters. Adjustable, screwable joint with high leverage ensures precise and smooth cutting. Slim head for easier accessibility. Pinch protection prevents the operator's fingers from being pinched. Not suitable for steel-reinforced cables, e.g., ACSR. Blades are additionally laser-hardened, with a blade hardness of approximately 56 HRC.
