Klein Tools 63041 25.5 Inch Standard Cable Cutter

The Klein Tools 63041 25.5-Inch Standard Cable Cutter operates as a heavy-duty mechanical shear engineered to slice soft copper cables up to 500 MCM and aluminum cables up to 750 MCM (1.375-inch maximum cable diameter). Forged and assembled in the USA from custom American tool steel, this 5.3-pound cutter features replaceable hook-jaw blades that enclose the conductor to produce clean, rounded, burr-free cuts. Outfitted with lightweight fiberglass handles, non-slip vinyl grips, a black-oxide finish, and a precision hinge bolt with pin-set nut, this cutter enables utility linemen and commercial electrical contractors to perform rapid cable sizing for lug and terminal installations.

Best Used For:

  • Commercial Feeder Cable Sizing: Shearing 500 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum building main feeder conductors square for panel terminations.
  • Utility Distribution Line Cutting: Slicing large-diameter soft copper and aluminum power lines up to 1.375 inches without flattening conductor strands.
  • Electrical Service Entrance Installation: Trimming heavy aluminum service drop cables to fit terminal lugs in meter centers and distribution panels.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • High-Capacity Cable Shearing: Cuts soft copper up to 500 MCM, aluminum up to 750 MCM, and communication cables up to 1-3/8 inches in diameter.
  • Forged Steel Hook-Jaw Blades: Precision-ground hook jaws enclose conductors during closure to prevent cable slippage and keep strands rounded.
  • High-Strength Fiberglass Handles: Lightweight fiberglass handles provide mechanical leverage while reducing arm fatigue during overhead cable cutting.
  • Non-Slip Heavy-Duty Vinyl Grips: Ergonomic vinyl handle covers supply grip stability and control during high-torque manual cuts.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Black-Oxide Finish: Heat-treated steel jaw surfaces resist rust, oxidation, and jobsite chemical exposure.
  • Field-Replaceable Blade Assembly: Hinge bolt configuration allows quick replacement of worn blades using Cat. No. 63081 replacement jaws.

Pro-Tip: Do not use the Klein 63041 to cut steel-reinforced ACSR cable, wire rope, or hardened steel guy strand. Reserving these forged hook-jaw blades exclusively for soft copper and aluminum conductors prevents edge nicking, ensuring smooth, burr-free cuts that slide directly into terminal lugs.
