Ideal Industries 35-033 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the IDEAL 35-033 cable cutter cut ACSR or steel cable?
No. The IDEAL 35-033 long-arm cutter is built for copper and aluminum conductors only. Cutting steel or ACSR will damage the blades. For messenger wire, guy strand, or ACSR you need a cutter rated for hardened steel, not this tool.
2) What size cable will the IDEAL 35-033 long-arm cutter handle?
It is rated to 1000 MCM copper or aluminum. That covers everything from small branch-circuit conductors up through large feeder and service-entrance cable, so an electrician pulling 500 MCM or 750 MCM feeders can size-cut on site with one tool.
3) Why choose a 32 inch long-arm cable cutter instead of a compact one?
The 32 inch handles on the IDEAL 35-033 give you the leverage to shear large copper and aluminum conductors by hand, up to 1000 MCM. A short-handle cutter works fine for small branch wire, but on feeder-size cable you either need the long arms or you move to a ratchet or hydraulic cutter. The tradeoff is bulk: 32 inches is a two-hand tool, not something you swing in a crowded panel.
4) Will this cutter leave the cable ends deformed before I terminate them?
The jaws are precision-ground to make clean cuts with minimal cable distortion, which matters when the cut end has to go straight into a compression lug or mechanical connector without being reworked.
5) Can the blades on the IDEAL 35-033 be replaced when they dull?
Yes, the blades are replaceable, so a dulled or nicked edge does not mean scrapping the tool. The blades are high strength forged, which is what lets them hold an edge through repeated large-conductor cuts.
6) Is the IDEAL 35-033 a good tool to stock for an MRO or facilities crew?
For a crew that cuts copper and aluminum feeders, yes. One 1000 MCM capacity covers the full range of conductor sizes most facility and industrial work sees, and the replaceable blades mean it stays in service instead of being replaced. Keep a separate steel-rated cutter on the truck for guy strand and ACSR, since this one is not built for those.
