Klein Tools 63750 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Klein 63750 cable cutter handle 1000 MCM copper feeders on a daily basis?
The Klein Tools 63750 is rated to 1000 MCM in both copper and aluminum, but Klein lists its frequent-use capacity at 750 MCM for each. So occasional 1000 MCM cuts are within rating; if you are pulling and terminating 1000 MCM day in and day out, expect the tool to be working at the top of its range and plan on 750 MCM as the comfortable working size.
2) Can I use the Klein 63750 on energized conductors?
No. The 63750 is not insulated. The plastic-dipped handles are for grip and comfort only and give no protection against electrical shock, so the circuit has to be de-energized and verified dead before you cut. Eye protection is called for as well.
3) Will this Klein ratcheting cutter cut steel cable, guy wire, or ACSR?
No, and doing it will damage the blades. Klein specifically warns against cutting steel or ACSR with the 63750. It is built for large diameter copper and aluminum cable only. For messenger wire, guy strand, or ACSR you need a cutter made for steel-reinforced conductor.
4) What is the biggest communication cable the Klein 63750 will take?
Jacketed communication cable up to 2-1/16 inches (52.4 mm) in diameter fits the jaws. That is the governing number for bundled multi-pair or coax trunk cable, where overall diameter matters more than conductor size.
5) Is a ratcheting cable cutter worth it over a standard scissor-type cutter for large feeders?
On anything above roughly 4/0 the ratchet earns its place. The 63750 uses a patented two-step ratchet so each cut takes fewer strokes and far less hand force than squeezing a long-handled shear cutter closed. Scissor-style cutters are faster on small branch-circuit conductors and lighter to carry; the ratcheting tool is what you want when you are sizing 500 to 1000 MCM feeders in a gear room with no leverage to spare.
6) What happens if I start a cut and need to back the cutter off the cable?
There is a quick release lever that opens the blades from any point in the cutting stroke, so a partially cut cable can be pulled out without finishing the cut. Useful when you realize mid-stroke that you are on the wrong conductor.
7) Can the blades on the Klein 63750 be replaced when they dull, or is the whole tool scrap?
The cutting blades are hardened steel and Klein publishes a Cable Cutter Replacement Part List for the 63750, so worn blades are a serviceable item rather than a reason to replace the tool. Useful if you are standardizing a crew or an MRO crib on one cutter.
8) How big and heavy is the Klein 63750, and will it fit in a tool bag?
It is 12-1/8 inches (30.8 cm) overall and weighs 1.76 lbs, with a footprint of 12.125 x 4.75 x 1.75 inches. A locking lever holds the handles closed for transport, so it packs flat into a tool box or bag rather than springing open and snagging everything in it.
9) What exact part number should I order for the Klein 1000 MCM ratcheting cable cutter?
Order Klein Tools model 63750, a ratcheting cable cutter with red handles. One configuration only, nothing to specify beyond the model number.
