Klein Tools J63050 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size conductor will the Klein J63050 cable cutter actually cut?
The Klein Tools J63050 Journeyman cable cutter is rated for 4/0 aluminum, 2/0 soft copper, and 100-pair 24 AWG communications cable. Aluminum takes the bigger bite because it shears easier than copper, so don't plan on putting 4/0 copper through it. Jaw opening is 1.06 inches (2.7 cm), which is the physical limit on cable outside diameter regardless of conductor material.
2) Can I use the Klein J63050 cutter on energized conductors?
No. The J63050 is not an insulated tool, so it is not rated for live work. Anything energized calls for a VDE/1000V insulated cutter and proper PPE. Use this one on de-energized cable only.
3) Will a 4/0 cable cutter fit in a tool pouch or work inside a panel?
Overall length is 9.563 inches (24.3 cm) with a 4.8 inch width and 1 inch height, so it drops into most pouches and still swings inside a loaded panel or a junction box. It weighs 15.7 oz (445 g), light enough to carry all day on the belt.
4) Is this a shear-type cutter or a ratcheting cutter, and can I cut one-handed?
It's a shear-type cable cutter, not a ratchet. The jaws grip the cable and shear it in a single one-hand squeeze, which is faster than a ratchet for repetitive cuts on feeders and service conductors. A ratcheting cutter is the better choice if you're regularly taking down cable larger than 4/0 aluminum, since the shear action tops out at the stated capacity.
5) Will this cutter handle telecom bundles, or do I need a separate tool for data cable?
It cuts 100-pair 24 AWG communications cable as well as power conductors, so a tech doing both power and low-voltage in a data center or MDF can carry one tool instead of two. The 1.06 inch jaw is the limiting factor on larger bundles.
6) What's the difference between Klein's Journeyman handles and the standard plastic-dipped ones?
Journeyman handles are a dual-material grip, red over black, molded over the steel rather than dipped. You get more grip surface and cushioning on hard cuts without thinning the tool body. They are comfort grips, not insulation, so they carry no shock rating.
7) Why do the jaw tips on this Klein cutter look beveled?
The bevel on the tips of the J63050 is there so the two jaws mate correctly through the cut. It keeps the leading edges from hammering each other, which is what usually kills a shear cutter. If the cable is seated back in the throat rather than out at the tips, the tool lasts considerably longer.
8) What model number do I order for the Klein Journeyman 4/0 cable cutter?
Order Klein Tools J63050. That's the Journeyman-handled version of the 4/0 aluminum shear cutter; the tool ships as a single item with no handle or capacity options to specify.
