GMP #75250 Ratcheting cable cutter, communications Cable 1800pr/24ga 2700pr/26ga

Description

These rugged cutters are designed especially for cutting communications cable up to 3.375 in. (85 mm) in diameter. Also, because of their small size they are extremely popular for cutting cable in tight spots like manholes, ditches or riser closets. They are ideal for cutting soft (annealed) copper conductor cable with maximum capacity including 1800 pair 24 AWG or 2700 pair 26 AWG communications cables The cutter incorporates a ratchet and pawl mechanism that is ground and hardened for years of clean cuts< The ratchet mechanism features reversible two-speed cutting (fast action/low leverage or normal action/high leverage) for extra power< Its 19 in. (483 mm) length lets you get in tight spots The cutting blades are made from precision ground, high alloy tool steel for long life, and a special hardening process to keep cutting edges sharp To inhibit rust, the cutter head has a black oxide finish For long life and firm grip, handles are epoxy coated To facilitate fast closing onto smaller diameter cables, a thumb button on the left handle is pushed up, allowing the handles to open fully to advance the ratchet more teeth per stroke. This "speed" button is also effective to quickly open the blades. For greatest leverage, the ratchet can advance one tooth with each closing stroke.
Note: This tool should never be used to cut steel or steel reinforced cable. It should also never be used to cut electrically live wire. Severe injury may result. GMP #75250 Ratcheting cable cutter, communications. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
