Klein Tools Cable Cutter 63041TH 25 Inch Forged Steel Hook Jaw (500 MCM Copper 750 MCM Aluminum 1 3/8 In Capacity Fiberglass Handles USA)

Klein Tools 63041TH 25-1/2 Inch Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Handle Cable Cutter

The Klein Tools 63041TH is a 25-1/2-inch manual shear cable cutter engineered to slice through large-diameter 500 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum cables up to 1-3/8 inches in diameter. Forged in the USA from custom tool steel, its replaceable hook-jaw blades grab and encircle cable bundles to execute burr-free cuts without crushing conductor strands. Fitted with lightweight structural fiberglass handles, black-oxide coated jaws, and heavy-duty vinyl grips, this industrial shear cutter maintains rounded cable ends for immediate insertion into lugs and distribution terminal blocks.

Best Used For:

• Commercial Service Entrance Installation: Shearing 500 MCM copper feeder cables cleanly without flattening strands prior to lug crimping.
• Utility-Scale Aluminum Distribution: Cutting 750 MCM aluminum supply lines and underground secondary distribution cables on industrial jobsites.
• Industrial Control Panel & Transformer Wiring: Trimming large-gauge flexible copper conductors inside tight electrical enclosures and switchgear.

Key Performance & Safety Features

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Position large 500 MCM or 750 MCM cables as deep into the throat of the hook jaws as possible before applying handle force; utilizing the full curvature of the hook prevents cable slippage and yields maximum cutting leverage.
