Sanuke Ratchet Cable Wire Cutter Heavy Duty for Electricians

the tool is not sharp, it does not work porperly when we cut cable.

Sasuke Ratchet Cable Wire cutter is well made with simple mechanic and performs very well. I cut copper and alluminum electrical wires size 6awg, 2awg, 1/0 & 3/0 without much effort, cut lines are clean.

I've been doing some land cleanup and ran across a bundle of 0AWG and a large section of wire I wanted to recycle. They were too big to use wire cutters but too small and flexible for a hacksaw. Saw these, and they turn out to be perfect for snipping those wire bundles down to manageable sections that I can recycle. For the price, they are well worth it. Easily cuts through cables.

For the $$ these are great, I have used them for 1/0 and 2/0 cable so far with success. They are a bit slow compared to say large sheers, but that's OK, these fit in a tool box and can be used in tight spaces, such as the bilge of of boat, with one hand. The issue with them is, however, the sheers are not sharp, and the way they crush down on the wire, the space between the sheers, if you cut right in the middle of a piece of cable that is so many feet long - you will be happy, they work well. But the design depends on the strands of the cable being well locked into the conduit: If you try to say trim 2 inches, what the sheers do is they pull the strands out of the tag end and get all jammed up with strands of cable between the sheers - the design falls on it's face basically. An improvement, which would likely solve the above issue would be sharper sheers. So, for cutting long pieces - GOOD. For trimming a little off - BAD. Mostly we are cutting, not trimming, so this remains a good tool IMO, however it does not alleviate the need to have a cutting disc around if you need to take a bit off a piece of cable. They might trim OK if you grab the tag end (which you are discarding anyway) with vice grips, to hold the strands tightly in place.

Cut great
