Ideal Industries 35-057 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tool does the IDEAL 35-057 replacement blade fit?
The IDEAL 35-057 blade is the replacement cutting blade for the IDEAL 35-053 BigFoot cable cutter, and it covers the moveable side only. If the fixed-side blade is the one that is worn or chipped, the 35-057 is not the part you need.
2) Does the 35-057 come with both blades for the BigFoot cable cutter?
No. The 35-057 is a single blade for the moveable side of the 35-053 cutter. Replacing both halves means ordering the fixed-side blade separately.
3) What cable size can the cutter this blade fits handle?
The BigFoot cable cutter the 35-057 blade serves is built to cut 750 KCMIL (MCM) and smaller hard-drawn copper and aluminum cable. It is not intended for steel-reinforced or ACSR conductors.
4) Is the IDEAL 35-057 blade hardened steel?
Yes, hardened steel, which is what keeps the cut consistent across repeated use. The blade also carries the rounded profile IDEAL uses to limit cable distortion while cutting, so a replacement keeps the original cut quality rather than degrading it.
5) Can I change the blade on a 35-053 cable cutter in the field?
The 35-053 cutter has a quick release mechanism that simplifies blade back-out, so swapping in a 35-057 moveable-side blade does not require sending the tool back. Work on a bench where you can control the cutting edge.
6) Should I replace the blade or buy a new cable cutter?
If the frame, handle lock and molded-in foot on your 35-053 are still sound and only the moveable cutting edge is dull or nicked, the 35-057 blade restores the tool for a fraction of a full replacement. Buy a new cutter when the pivot is loose or the handles no longer close and lock.
7) Is the 35-057 blade usable on other IDEAL cable cutters?
It is specified for the 35-053 cutter. Fitment on any other model is not something to assume with cutting blades, since the pivot and seat geometry differ between tools.
