Klein Tools J63050 Journeyman High Leverage Cable Cutter, 9"
The Klein Tools J63050 Journeyman High Leverage Cable Cutter is an industrial-grade hand tool engineered for precision one-handed shearing action, making it ideal for confined spaces. Built with high-leverage geometry, it delivers exceptional cutting power for soft copper, aluminum, and communications cables without crushing the conductors. The induction-hardened shear-type cutting knives ensure a clean cut and extended tool life.
This cutter features Klein's exclusive dual-material Journeyman handles, which combine a softer, ergonomic outer grip with a harder, durable inner material for optimized force transfer. A hot-riveted joint provides smooth action and prevents handle wobble during repeated use. Note: This tool is not insulated and is strictly not designed for cutting steel or ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) cables.
