Product Overview
The Jonard Tools RC-600 Ratcheting Cable Cutter is engineered for the clean, precise cutting of stranded copper, aluminum, and multi-conductor cables. Featuring a highly durable ratcheting mechanism and heat-treated carbon steel construction, this tool handles heavy-duty electrical and telecommunications cable preparation. The precision induction-hardened cutting edges deliver smooth cuts without distorting the cable profile, while the integrated quick-release mechanism allows the blade to be opened mid-cut or after completion.
Key Features & Design
- Cutting Capacity: Cleanly cuts up to 600 kcmil (MCM) stranded copper and 750 kcmil (MCM) stranded aluminum.
- Maximum Diameter: Accommodates cables with an outer diameter up to 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm).
- Material Construction: Forged from heat-treated carbon steel with induction-hardened cutting edges for extended operational life.
- Ergonomics & Efficiency: Spring-loaded handle design keeps the cutter in an open position when needed, while the cushioned rubber grip minimizes hand fatigue and maximizes applied torque.
