Ratcheting Cable Cutter · 400 MCM copper capacity · 1-3/8 in jaw opening · IDEAL Industries 35-056
What this product is for
This ratcheting cable cutter is used for cutting larger non-ferrous electrical cable where controlled hand cutting is needed. It is intended for hard drawn copper up to 400 MCM, and distributor sources also list soft copper, aluminium, and multi-conductor cable up to 600 MCM.
Use for
- Service and feeder cable preparation
- Copper and aluminium conductor cutting before termination
- Multi-conductor cable work in commercial and industrial installations
- Tighter working areas where a ratcheting hand tool is preferred over larger cutters
Avoid for
- Steel cable
- ACSR cable
- Applications exceeding the listed conductor capacity
- Precision work where a powered cutter is required for production speed
Best for
Electricians and contractors who need a manual ratcheting cutter for occasional to regular cutting of larger copper or aluminium conductors without moving to a powered tool.
Installed in
Not an installed product. Commonly carried in electrical service vehicles, panel shops, maintenance departments, and contractor tool kits.
Why this product exists
Larger conductors are difficult to cut cleanly with standard side cutters or non-ratcheting hand tools. A ratcheting mechanism increases mechanical advantage so the cut can be completed in stages with better control and typically less hand strain.
Compared with similar products
Compared with straight manual cable cutters, a ratcheting cutter is commonly chosen when cleaner control and lower hand effort matter more than speed. As a rule of thumb, manual ratcheting cutters are often preferred for field trimming of larger conductors, while powered cutters are typically chosen for repetitive production work. Actual performance depends on cable type, strand count, access, and site conditions.
