Cable cutter ks tools 118.0090, cutting capacity Ø10 mm, length 160 mm

Handheld cable cutter ks tools 118.0090 is designed for cutting cables with a maximum diameter of Ø10 mm. With an overall length of 160 mm, the tool offers compact handling and precise blade geometry for controlled cutting of copper and aluminium conductors. The robust construction and ergonomic grips make it suitable for both workshop and on-site use in electrical, telecom and general installation tasks.

Advantages

The cutter combines a compact 160 mm length with a cutting capacity up to Ø10 mm, enabling work in confined spaces while maintaining accuracy. Hardened cutting edges provide clean cuts on copper and aluminium conductors without excessive deformation. Ergonomic handles improve control and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use, and the sturdy joint ensures consistent blade alignment and long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• Cutting single and multi-core copper and aluminium power cables up to Ø10 mm
• Electrical installation and maintenance work in residential and commercial settings
• Telecommunications and networking cable preparation
• General workshop tasks requiring compact, precise cable cutting

Key specifications

• Maximum cutting diameter: Ø10 mm
• Total length: 160 mm
• Blade material: hardened cutting edges for metal conductors
• Handle type: ergonomic grips for improved control
• Suitable conductor materials: copper and aluminium

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades at the desired cutting point and apply steady pressure on the handles until the cutter slices through the conductor. For multi-layer or sheathed cables, remove outer insulation as required before cutting the inner conductors, and make sure to support the cable to prevent crushing. Inspect the blade edge regularly and keep the cutter clean from debris to ensure smooth operation.

Recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as insulated gloves when working on live or unclear circuits, and verify that cables are de-energized before cutting. Avoid using the tool on hardened steel or materials outside the specified cutting capacity to prevent damage to the blades. Store the cutter in a dry place and periodically check the joint and blade sharpness for reliable performance.
