Greenlee 50312910 Forged Steel Shear-Action Cable Cutter

Greenlee 50312910 Forged Steel Shear-Action Cable Cutter

The Greenlee 50312910 Forged Steel Shear-Action Cable Cutter is a heavy-duty hand tool designed to cut heavier copper and aluminum cables up to 2/0 AWG (70 mm²), as well as up to 100 pair communication cables with frequent jobsite use. Built from heavy-duty forged steel and heat-treated for long service life, this cutter delivers professional-grade cutting performance for electricians working with power and communication cable. Precision-ground, shear-action, curved cutting blades produce clean, controlled cuts, while PVC-covered, high-leverage handles reduce cutting effort on tough conductors. A rust-resistant black oxide finish helps protect the tool from corrosion in demanding commercial and industrial environments, and a manageable 9-1/4 IN (235 MM) overall length keeps the tool easy to carry and use in tight panel or enclosure spaces.
