Manual Cable Cutter for 6–70 mm² Cables | Durable Steel Handles
🔧 Precise and Consistent Cutting: The MCCT manual cable cutter is designed for clean cuts on copper and aluminium cables up to 70 mm² (AWG 8 to 2/0). Its optimized blade profile and 12.8 mm maximum opening ensure a neat cut without excessive strand deformation – ideal for preparing cable ends for crimping (ring terminals, tubular lugs).
🏋🏻♀️ Built to Last: Heavy-duty steel handles for maximum rigidity, precision pivot to reduce play, and integrated stop to prevent overloading and preserve blade sharpness. Balanced force-to-efficiency ratio reduces operator fatigue on large cross-sections while maintaining fine cutting control.
🌊 Made for Onboard and Workshop Use: Recommended for Boat electrical work (outboard engine feeds, switch panels, converters, busbars), automotive (tow bars, winches, audio), and industrial environments (control cabinets, maintenance). The MCCT handles common flexible multi-strand cables (H07RN-F, battery cables, inverter feeds, solar cables) and marine-grade aluminium where reduced cable weight is required.
🧰 Best Cutting Practices:
🚫 Usage Limitations: Not intended for steel/stainless steel cables, wire ropes, rigid armored cables, chains, or bolts. Do not use on live conductors. For ACSR or rigging wire, use a dedicated cutter.
⚠️ Safety: Sharp blades – for adults and trained professionals only. Wear gloves and safety glasses. Keep out of reach of children.
🧼 Quick Maintenance: Wipe clean after use, especially in saline environments, and apply a light coat of oil to the pivot and blade. Store in a dry place (toolbox) to maintain smooth operation.

🛠️ Why a dedicated cutter instead of a saw/knife?
A dedicated shear preserves the strand geometry (better contact surface) and avoids crushing or burrs that complicate crimping. Result: lower contact resistance, reduced heating, and improved reliability in marine environments.
📦 Shipping & Use: Ships from France. For best results, practice on a scrap piece of the same section before your first live installation.
💡 Pro tip: For large cross-sections (50–70 mm²), mark the cut line, align the blade perfectly perpendicular, and use a small tape wrap around the strands before cutting – you’ll get a perfectly round, clean end for 360° crimping.
