Greenlee 50176005 Compact Ratchet Cable Cutter, One-Hand Operation

The Greenlee 50176005 Compact Ratchet Cable Cutter is built for electricians and technicians who need reliable, one-hand cutting performance in tight, hard-to-reach spaces. This ratchet-style cable cutter features a single-speed ratchet mechanism paired with heavy-duty blades rated to cut communication cable up to 1-3/4 IN in diameter (42.000 SQ-MM maximum use), making it well suited for low-voltage and communication cable work on job sites, in equipment rooms, and in panel enclosures. At an overall length of 11-3/4 IN (298.000 MM) and a compact footprint, this cutter stores easily in a tool pouch and is designed to be carried on every service call without adding bulk.

Key Features

• Simple One-Hand Operation: Designed for fast, single-hand actuation so the other hand stays free to position cable or hold a fixture in place.

• Mid-Cut Blade Release: The blade release allows the blades to be opened in mid-cut, so the tool can be repositioned on the cable without having to complete an unwanted cut.
• Heavy-Duty Blades: Constructed for long service life, with replacement blades available (9908 Movable Blade and 09907 Fixed Blade) to extend the working life of the tool.

Its compact size, one-hand operation, and single-speed ratchet action make it a practical addition to any electrician's or technician's tool pouch for communication cable work in panels, equipment rooms, and tight-access job sites where full-size cutters simply will not fit.
