Klein Tools 63225 9 Inch High-Leverage Cable Cutter

The Klein Tools 63225 9-Inch High-Leverage Cable Cutter operates as a compact mechanical shear hand tool engineered to cut soft copper, aluminum, and communication cables in confined electrical enclosures. Forged in the USA from through-hardened American tool steel, this 15.5 oz. cutter features a high-leverage pivot joint that reduces required hand force by 30 percent compared to standard cutters. Outfitted with shear-type jaws that slice up to 4/0 aluminum, 2/0 soft copper, and 100-pair 24 AWG communication cables with a 1-1/16 in. jaw capacity, red plastic-dipped handles, and a hot-riveted joint, this 9-inch tool enables commercial electricians and telecom technicians to execute smooth, burr-free, single-handed cable cuts inside crowded breaker panels and junction boxes.

Best Used For:

  • Commercial Breaker Panel Cable Shearing: Cutting 2/0 soft copper and 4/0 aluminum feeder conductors square for distribution panel terminations with 30 percent reduced hand force.
  • Telecommunications Cable Preparation: Slicing 100-pair 24 AWG communication cables cleanly for terminal block and punch-down block installations.
  • Confined Space Service Work: Executing precise, single-handed cable cuts in narrow junction boxes, meter bases, and wireways.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • 30 Percent Reduced Hand Force: Advanced high-leverage mechanical pivot design lowers operating effort by 30 percent compared to standard cutter models.
  • High-Capacity Cable Shearing: Precision-ground shear jaws effortlessly cut up to 4/0 aluminum, 2/0 soft copper, and 100-pair 24 AWG communication cable.
  • Through-Hardened US Tool Steel: Forged steel jaws are hardened throughout the metal matrix rather than case-hardened to preserve cutting edges.
  • One-Handed Precision Operation: Compact 9-inch frame profile supplies maximum cutting leverage for effortless one-handed operation in tight quarters.
  • Hot-Riveted Hinge Joint: Precision rivet alignment delivers smooth closing action without blade wobble or jaw misalignment over time.
  • Red Plastic-Dipped Handles: Textured handle coating provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip for daily manual service.
