Engineered with a patented two-step ratchet mechanism, this compact tool delivers massive mechanical advantage, requiring significantly fewer strokes per cut than traditional designs. Its high-leverage gearing is optimized for effortless, one-handed operation, allowing you to use your free hand to steady or position the cable for a perfectly square, burr-free finish. Whether you are working in a crowded service panel or a confined junction box, the 63601 provides the industrial shearing power needed to manage 1000 MCM Aluminum and 600 MCM Copper with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability and ergonomic control are at the core of this American-engineered tool. The precision-ground blades are forged from induction-hardened steel, ensuring long-term edge retention and structural integrity even under frequent jobsite use. The handles feature high-visibility red plastic covers with integrated hand guards to prevent slippage and provide a secure, comfortable grip throughout the ratcheting cycle. For added efficiency, a quick-release lever allows the blades to open in any position, enabling the user to adjust or remove the cable mid-cut. For the trade professional seeking a foundational instrument that balances lightweight portability with 1000 MCM cutting capacity, the Klein 63601 remains the industry standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #004b87;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Leverage Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specialized ratcheting mechanism shears through 1000 MCM Aluminum and 600 MCM Copper without leaving burrs or sharp edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Handed Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision gearing allows for easy one-handed use, freeing the other hand to position cable for a proper cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented 2-Step Mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced ratcheting technology requires fewer strokes per cut, dramatically reducing user fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick-Release Lever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Safety feature opens the hardened steel blades in every position to allow for immediate cable removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Industrial Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measuring only 10.25 inches, it fits easily into standard tool bags and boxes for elite portability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic Hand Guards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic-covered handles feature protective guards to ensure a firm, non-slip grip during high-force applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Locking Lever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the handles securely closed for safe transport and storage between jobsites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #004b87;\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Klein Tools 63601 Compact Ratcheting Cable Cutter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1061\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3ZCqCSCw97w\" title=\"The Name on the Tools is Our Reputation\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #004b87;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"504\" style=\"width: 47.5%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #fff0f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 56.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 43.6494%;\"\u003eKlein Tools\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 56.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 43.6494%;\"\u003e63601\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #fff0f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 56.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 43.6494%;\"\u003eRatcheting Cable Cutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 56.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Capacity (Aluminum)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 43.6494%;\"\u003e1000 MCM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #fff0f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 56.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Capacity (Copper)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 43.6494%;\"\u003e600 MCM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 56.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Communication Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); width: 43.6494%;\"\u003e2.0625 in.

This ensures the pawls engage perfectly with every stroke. Remember: this tool is designed for soft copper and aluminum only; never use it to cut ACSR or steel, as this will instantly damage the precision-hardened blades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KLEIN TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52117178876215,"sku":"63601","price":510.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2274\/5945\/files\/Klein_Tools_63601_Compact_Ratcheting_Cable_Cutter_High_Leverage_One_Handed_Operation_Cuts_1000_MCM_Aluminum_600_MCM_Copper_2-1_16_Inch_Communication_Cable.jpg?v=1778524756","url":"https:\/\/www.1toptools.com\/products\/klein-tools-63601-compact-ratcheting-cable-cutter-high-leverage-one-handed-operation-cuts-1000-mcm-aluminum-600-mcm-copper-2-1-16-inch-communication-cable","provider":"1 Top Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
