Klein Tools 63030 1-Inch Coaxial Cable Cutter

The Klein Tools 63030 is an 8-1/4-inch one-handed coaxial cable cutter engineered to shear through aluminum and copper coaxial cables up to 1 inch in diameter. Forged in the USA from custom alloy tool steel, its precision-ground blades slice through outer insulation jackets and inner conductors without crushing internal dielectrics or altering cable impedance. Built with a hot-riveted pivot joint to maintain wobble-free jaw alignment, cable-gripping jaws to eliminate slipping, and blue plastic-dipped handles, this compact shear tool preserves cable geometry for high-frequency broadband and video connector termination.

Best Used For:

  • Broadband & Commercial CATV Installation: Shearing large 1-inch aluminum and copper coaxial trunk lines cleanly prior to fitting compression connectors.
  • Hardline Video & Data Cable Prep: Cutting multi-shielded communication cables without deforming the internal polyethylene dielectric core or fraying outer braids.
  • Restricted Space Enclosure Maintenance: Trimming coaxial distribution lines inside cramped ped boxes, equipment racks, and junction boxes using a single hand.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • 1-Inch High-Capacity Shear Cut: Precision-ground curved blades effortlessly slice through copper and aluminum coaxial cable up to 1" outside diameter.
  • Zero-Compression Jaw Profile: Specialized curved jaw geometry holds the cable in place and shears cleanly without flattening internal layers.
  • One-Handed High-Leverage Design: Compact frame profile enables full cutting power with a single hand in tight enclosures or on ladders.
  • Hot-Riveted Smooth Joint: Precision-milled pivot joint delivers smooth, wobble-free blade tracking over extended production cycles.
  • Forged American Tool Steel: Heat-treated forged steel body and blades provide high structural integrity and long edge retention.
  • Blue Plastic-Dipped Handles: Textured vinyl-dipped handle grips offer a comfortable, slip-resistant hold for all-day technical work.

Pro-Tip: Lightly score the outer protective jacket using the blade tips before seating a 1-inch coaxial cable fully into the center notch of the curved jaws; this technique ensures a clean, round cross-section without pinching internal foil shielding.
