Klein Tools Cable Cutter 63028 3/4 Inch Coaxial Shear (One Handed Action Precision Ground Forged Steel Blades Yellow Dipped Handles USA Made)

Klein Tools 63028 3/4-Inch Coaxial Cable Cutter

The Klein Tools 63028 is an 8-1/4-inch one-handed coaxial cable cutter engineered to shear through aluminum and copper coaxial cables up to 3/4 inch in diameter. Forged in the USA from custom alloy steel, its precision-ground blades slice through outer insulation jackets and inner copper conductors without crushing internal dielectrics or fraying metal shielding. Built with a hot-riveted pivot joint to ensure wobble-free jaw alignment, cable-gripping jaws to prevent slippage, and yellow plastic-dipped handles, this compact shear tool preserves cable geometry for F-connector and F-type compression fitting termination.

Best Used For:

• Telecommunications & CATV Coaxial Termination: Shearing RG-6, RG-11, and 3/4-inch hardline coaxial distribution cables cleanly prior to compression connector installation.
• Commercial Satellite & Broadcast Wiring: Cutting multi-shielded copper and aluminum coaxial feed lines without flattening the internal polyethylene dielectric core.
• Confined Space Enclosure Service: Trimming data transmission cables and video lines inside cramped junction boxes, ped pedestals, and equipment racks using one hand.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Zero-Compression Shear Action: Precision-ground curved blades slice 3/4-inch coaxial cable without crushing the internal dielectric core.
• Cable-Gripping Jaw Profile: Specialized jaw geometry scores outer jacket insulation and traps cable conductors to eliminate slippage during cuts.
• One-Handed High-Leverage Frame: Compact 8-1/4-inch overall length permits full cutting force using a single hand in restrictive enclosures.
• Hot-Riveted Smooth Joint: Precision-milled pivot joint delivers wobble-free blade tracking and smooth operation over extended service cycles.
• Forged American Alloy Steel: Heat-treated forged tool steel construction ensures blade sharpness and prevents jaw flex under force.
• Yellow Plastic-Dipped Handles: Textured vinyl-dipped handle grips offer a comfortable, slip-resistant hold and high visibility in tool pouches.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Score the outer plastic jacket of hardline coaxial cable with the jaw tips first, then seat the cable fully into the notch of the curved blades to complete the cut; this two-step motion prevents distorting the inner foil shield before termination.
