Klein Tools 63041TH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable will a Klein 25-inch cable cutter actually cut?
The Klein 63041 cable cutter is rated to 500 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum, and on soft cable it takes up to 1-3/8 inch (3.5 cm) diameter. That covers most service entrance and feeder work. It is a shear-type cutter for copper and aluminum conductors, not a tool for steel cable, guy wire, or ACSR.
2) Is this Klein cable cutter insulated for live work?
No. The 63041 is not insulated, so it is not for use on energized conductors. The fiberglass handles with heavy vinyl grips are there for strength and grip, not for voltage protection. If you need to cut live, you want a 1000V insulated cutter instead.
3) What is the difference between Klein 63041 and 63041TH?
Same 25-1/2 inch cutter, different handle treatment: the 63041 comes with the standard fiberglass handles, and the 63041TH adds a protective sleeve on the handles. Cutting capacity is identical at 500 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum.
4) Can the blades be replaced when they get dull, or do I buy a whole new cutter?
Blades are replaceable. The hook-jaw blades are service parts, ordered as Klein 63081, so a well-used cutter gets new blades rather than being scrapped. The bolt hinge holds blade tension and the beveled tips keep the jaws mating properly after a change.
5) Is a 25-inch two-hand cable cutter overkill, or do I need the length?
The length is the leverage. At 25-1/2 inches (64.8 cm) overall this is a two-hand cutter, and that handle length is what lets you shear 500 MCM copper by hand without a ratchet or hydraulic head. For small branch-circuit wire it is more tool than you need; for feeders, panel work, and utility drops it is the right size. It weighs 5.25 lbs, so it lives in the truck rather than on the belt.
6) Will this cutter crush the cable or give a clean end for terminating?
It shears rather than pinches. The hook jaw grabs and holds the conductor while the cutting blade passes through it, which leaves a clean, even end that goes into a lug or compression connector without having to dress it first. Jaws are forged tool steel with a black-oxide finish.
7) Can I use this on ACSR, guy strand, or steel cable?
No. This cutter is built for copper and aluminum conductors, rated 500 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum. Steel-cored or steel messenger cable will damage the hook-jaw blades. Use a dedicated ACSR or wire rope cutter for that work.
8) Where is the Klein 63041 cable cutter made?
Made in the USA, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic-sourcing requirements on tools and materials.
