Klein Tools Cable Cutter 63047 37 Inch Communications Shear (900 Pair 2 1/4 In Capacity Forged Steel Hook Jaw Fiberglass Handles USA Made)

Klein Tools 63047 37-Inch Communications Cable Cutter

The Klein Tools 63047 is a 37-inch shear-type communications cable cutter engineered to slice through soft copper and aluminum multi-pair communication cables up to 900-pair capacity and 2-1/4 inches in diameter. Forged in the USA from custom high-carbon tool steel, its replaceable hook-jaw blades grab large-diameter cable bundles to execute clean, distortion-free cuts across lead-sheathed or rubber-covered lines. Equipped with high-strength fiberglass handles, black-oxide coated jaws, and heavy-duty vinyl grips, this manual shear maintains round cable profiles to facilitate terminal and lug connections on telecommunications job sites.

Best Used For:

• Telecommunications Trunk Cable Splicing: Cutting 900-pair soft copper telephone cables cleanly without flattening inner conductor insulation layers.
• Industrial Data Infrastructure Slicing: Shearing large-diameter aluminum communication lines and multi-conductor control cables up to 2-1/4 inches in diameter.
• Lead & Rubber-Sheathed Cable Service: Trimming heavy rubber-covered or lead-jacketed communication feed lines on utility distribution projects.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 900-Pair Soft Cable Capacity: High-capacity shear jaws cut soft copper and aluminum multi-pair communication cables up to 2-1/4" outside diameter.
• Replaceable Forged Hook-Jaw Blades: Precision-ground tool steel hook jaws grab and hold cable bundles to deliver square, burr-free cuts (replacement blade Cat. No. 63110).
• High-Strength Fiberglass Handles: Lightweight structural fiberglass handles maximize cutting leverage while reducing operator fatigue on high-volume cuts.
• Black-Oxide Protective Jaw Coating: Forged tool steel jaws feature a black-oxide surface finish to resist rust and environmental corrosion.
• Integrated Heavy-Duty Blade Stops: Steel stop pins in the head assembly maintain structural integrity and prevent blade over-travel under high mechanical loads.
• Heavy-Duty Vinyl Handle Grips: Ergonomic textured vinyl grips offer a secure, slip-resistant hold during high-force manual shearing operations.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Fully seat large 900-pair communication cables into the deepest curvature of the hook jaws before closing the handles; using the full depth of the jaw throat prevents cable slip and maximizes mechanical leverage during shear cuts.
