NEO TOOLS Copper and Aluminum Cable Cutter 400mm² | Ratchet Action | 52mm Max Diameter

Electricians and line workers tackling thick copper or aluminum conductors need a cutter that bites cleanly without crushing the strands. The NEO TOOLS 01-401 handles up to 400 mm² copper or aluminum cable, slicing through 52 mm diameter bundles with a ratchet mechanism that multiplies hand force for effortless cuts. High-carbon hardened steel blades (HRC 50-55) hold their edge through repeated use, while the black oxide finish resists corrosion on the job site. Ergonomic PVC/TPR grips and a 630 mm overall length give you leverage and control, and the safety lock keeps the jaws closed when the tool is not in use. Whether you are prepping feeder cables, service entrances, or industrial power lines, this cutter delivers clean, deformation-free cuts every time.

Key specifications

• Max cutting capacity: 400 mm² (copper and aluminum)
• Max cable diameter: 52 mm
• Cutting mechanism: ratchet action for reduced effort
• Blade material: high-carbon hardened steel, HRC 50-55
• Blade finish: black oxide for corrosion resistance
• Handle: ergonomic non-slip PVC/TPR grips
• Overall length: 630 mm
• Safety lock: yes
• Application: power cables, electrical wiring
• Not suitable for: steel wire, ACSR, armored cables

Why choose it

The ratchet action multiplies your hand force, so cutting heavy 400 mm² conductors requires minimal effort. Precision ground shear blades produce clean, square cuts without crushing or deforming the cable, which is critical for proper termination. The high-carbon steel blades are hardened to HRC 50-55, ensuring long-lasting sharpness even after hundreds of cuts. The black oxide finish protects against rust in damp or outdoor environments, and the non-slip grips provide a secure hold even with gloves. The 630 mm length offers excellent leverage, reducing strain on your hands and wrists during repetitive cutting tasks.

Ideal use cases

• Cutting copper and aluminum power cables up to 400 mm² in electrical installations
• Preparing feeder cables for distribution panels and switchgear
• Trimming service entrance conductors in residential and commercial buildings
• Industrial maintenance and construction sites where large gauge wiring is common
• Solar farm and wind turbine installations with heavy DC cabling

Good to know

This cutter is designed exclusively for copper and aluminum conductors. Do not use it on steel wire, ACSR (aluminum conductor steel reinforced), or armored cables, as this will damage the blades. The tool is non-insulated, so always de-energize circuits before cutting. The safety lock keeps the jaws closed for safe storage and transport. For best results, periodically clean the blades and apply a light machine oil to the pivot points.
