Klein Tools 63055 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Klein 63055 cable cutter be used on live circuits?
No. The 63055 is not insulated. The plastic-dipped handles are for grip comfort only and give no protection against electrical shock, so de-energize the cable before you cut. If you need a tool rated for live work, this is not it.
2) Will the Klein 63055 cut steel cable or ACSR?
No, and cutting either will damage the tool. The 63055 is built for copper and aluminum multi-strand cable and wire only. Its shearing edges are heat-treated high-carbon steel, but they are ground for soft conductor, not for steel messenger or aluminum conductor steel-reinforced. Use a dedicated ACSR or steel cable cutter for those.
3) Will a cable cutter crush or deform data and telecom cable when cutting?
The 63055 is ground with a special shear angle that cuts cleanly without compressing the cable geometry, which is the reason it is used for telecom cable work. Round cable stays round through the cut and the ends come off unfrayed, so terminations seat properly. A general-purpose diagonal cutter flattens the jacket and squashes pair geometry, which is what causes failed terminations on data cable.
4) Is the Klein 63055 small enough to work one-handed in a panel or wall box?
Yes. Overall length is 8 inches (20.3 cm) and it weighs 10.4 oz (295 g), and the shearing action is a one-hand squeeze. That size works inside a wiring closet, a panel, or an overhead ladder position where a two-hand ratcheting cutter has nowhere to go.
5) Is the Klein 63055 durable enough for daily service work, or is it a light-duty tool?
The body is forged and the pivot is a 3/8-inch case-hardened rivet, which is the joint that fails first on cheap cutters and works loose under repeated shearing. Shearing edges are heat-treated high-carbon steel. Kept to copper and aluminum conductor, it holds up to a full route of daily cutting.
6) Does the Klein 63055 meet a domestic-origin purchasing requirement?
The 63055 compact cable cutter is made in the United States. For government, institutional, and public-works buyers working to a domestic sourcing policy, that is the country of origin on record for this tool.
7) Will the Klein 63055 fit on a tool pouch or in a technician's kit?
It stows flat. The tool measures 8 inches long, 0.75 inches wide, and 0.7 inches thick, so it drops into a standard pouch loop or a laid-out service kit without eating a large slot. Handles are red, which helps you find it in a bag full of black tools.
8) Do the handles on the Klein 63055 stay put with sweaty or gloved hands?
Handles are non-slip vinyl in a plastic-dipped finish, so they hold grip when wet and cushion the squeeze on a long run of cuts. To be clear on what that dip is and is not: it is comfort and grip, not electrical insulation.
9) What is the Klein part number for the compact cable cutter, and is it a single model?
Klein Tools 63055 is the compact cable cutter, and the manufacturer part number is 63055. It ships as one configuration, no handle or size options to specify when you order.
