Compact size gets into close quarters
These patented conductor cutters are half the size and weight
of standard ratchet cutters. Two styles of the compact cutters
ratings match a wide range of overhead and underground
conductors. They can get into such confining workspace as
manholes and handholes. In practice, they open in less than
half the space required for long-handled ratcheting cutters.
Their small size also saves on toolbox and warehouse stor-
age.
1000 kcmil URD cable
Single lever allows easy switching
of direction.
For rapid opening or closing,
pushing thumb slide toward head
allows handles to open wider. Not
for use when cutting, this feature
nearly doubles the speed of the
soft cutters makes the hard
cutters open and close about
three times faster than normal.
For shorter, more powerful strokes
while cutting conductor, release
thumb slide.
Easy operation, rugged construction
To give long service life, the design of these compact cutters
is based on a simple ratchet mechanism. Simple controls and
sure ratcheting action makes working with them easy.
C-type jaws are heat-treated for lasting strength and sharp-
ness. Stampings on the jaws indicate application limits.
Despite their small size, they are built to take punishing field
conditions. The reinforced-fiberglass handles are PVC-coat-
ed and protected by a vinyl sleeve. Thick vinyl grips shield
the handle ends and help worker keep a steady grasp.
Operating instructions are included with both cutter
styles.
