Cable Cutter · 500 MCM Copper/Aluminium Capacity · 22 in (558 mm) Long-Arm Handles · IDEAL 35-032
What this product is for
The IDEAL 35-032 is a manual long-arm cable cutter for cutting copper and aluminium cable up to 500 MCM. It is built for electricians and contractors who need clean cuts on larger conductors during service, feeder, and distribution work.
Use for
Use for non-ferrous electrical cable, including larger copper and aluminium conductors where a clean cut helps with termination and pull preparation. The 22 in (558 mm) overall length provides added leverage for field and shop use.
Avoid for
Do not use this cutter on steel, ACSR, or other hardened materials. It is designed specifically for copper and aluminium cable.
Best for
Best for electrical contractors, maintenance teams, and industrial electricians cutting larger single conductors and cable in panels, service equipment, and distribution installations. Replaceable blades can help extend service life in regular use.
Installed in
Typically used on residential, commercial, and industrial electrical jobsites, service upgrades, distribution work, and prefabrication shops. As a rule of thumb, tools in this size range are commonly chosen when smaller hand cutters no longer provide enough leverage for larger feeder cable.
Why this product exists
This cutter exists to give electricians a manual option for larger copper and aluminium cable without moving to a ratcheting or powered cutter. The long handles increase leverage, while the precision-ground jaws are intended to reduce cable distortion during cutting.
Compared with similar products
Compared with compact cable cutters, this long-arm model offers more leverage and higher cable capacity. Compared with ratcheting cutters, it can be faster on straightforward cuts but may require more hand force depending on cable type, strand count, and working position. Actual cutting effort depends on conductor material, cable construction, and site conditions.
