Ideal Industries 35-053 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the IDEAL 35-053 BigFoot cutter handle 750 MCM aluminum feeder cable?
Yes. The BigFoot ratcheting cable cutter is built to cut 750 KCMIL (MCM) and smaller cable in both hard-drawn copper and aluminum, so a 750 MCM aluminum feeder is right at the top of its rated capacity.
2) Can I use the IDEAL 35-053 on steel-reinforced ACSR or guy wire?
No. The 35-053 is rated for hard-drawn copper and aluminum cable only. Steel-cored conductors such as ACSR, guy strand, or wire rope will damage the hardened steel blades. Use a cutter specifically rated for steel-reinforced conductors for that work.
3) Why choose a ratcheting cable cutter instead of standard cable shears for large feeders?
Ratcheting action lets you take a large conductor in stages instead of trying to close the jaws in one squeeze, which is what makes 750 MCM practical by hand. The 35-053 also has a molded-in foot you can brace against a bench or floor for leverage on repeated cuts, and a quick release so you can back the blade out mid-cut. Plain cable shears are faster on small branch-circuit wire but will stall on heavy feeder.
4) Does the IDEAL 35-053 crush or deform the cable end before termination?
The blade is rounded rather than flat, which keeps cable distortion to a minimum so the conductor end stays close to round for lug or compression-connector entry. Blades are hardened steel for repeatable cuts over time.
5) Will the 35-053 cutter stay closed in a tool bag or will the handles spring open?
There's a locking mechanism that holds the handles closed, so it travels in a bag or bucket without springing open. The same quick release that backs the blade out is what you use to free a jammed cut.
6) What is the exact IDEAL part number for the BigFoot 750 MCM ratcheting cable cutter?
Order it as IDEAL Industries 35-053. That is the full catalogue number for the BigFoot ratcheting cable cutter rated to 750 MCM, and it is sold as a single model with no size or finish options to specify.
