CHANNELLOCK's 9-1/2 in. Cable Cutting Pliers feature a high-leverage design that provides controlled cutting performance without the bulk of larger cable cutters. The 9-1/2 in. overall length offers useful leverage and handling, while the CHANNELLOCK BLUE grips provide a secure, comfortable hold during extended work. These pliers are intended for aluminum and copper cable and are not designed for cutting steel or ACSR cable. The forged high-carbon steel construction provides the durability needed for repeated use, while the precision-ground cutting edges help produce clean, controlled cuts. With a 1.4 in. cutting edge, these cable-cutting pliers are designed to handle cable sizes up to 4/0 aluminum and 2/0 copper.
