Southwire RF-120A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size flex conduit and MC cable will the Southwire RF-120A Roto-Flex cutter handle?
The RF-120A cuts 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch trade size flex, plus large size MC/AC/BX from 2/4 to 4/2. If your work is mostly smaller MC (14/2, 12/2 branch circuit runs) this is the wrong end of the range; the RF-120A is built for the heavier feeder-size armored cable and the two common flex trade sizes.
2) Does the Roto-Flex cable cutter need to be readjusted for every cut?
No. The patented quick clamp lever holds the setting, so once it is set for the cable you are running you crank through cut after cut without touching it again. The blade system is self-tightening, which keeps blade tension where it should be as you work. That is the difference on a panel change-out where you are cutting dozens of whips in a row.
3) Do I need batteries or a charger for the Southwire RF-120A cutter?
Nothing to charge. The RF-120A is a hand-cranked mechanical cutter, no batteries required, so it goes in the pouch and works on day one of a job with no power on the floor. The crank handle is offset to give hand clearance when you are spinning it around the cable in a tight box or ceiling space.
4) Do I have to order replacement blades separately for the Southwire Roto-Flex, or does it store spares?
The knob has a built-in blade storage cartridge that holds 6 blades, so spares ride with the tool instead of loose in the truck. Blades are consumable on armored cable and you will go through them, but you are not hunting for one mid-cut.
5) Is the Southwire RF-120A the same tool as the Seatek RF-102A Greenfield Roto-Flex?
The RF-120A is the Southwire-branded Roto-Flex covering the 1/2 to 3/4 trade size range, carried under the Seatek RF-102A Greenfield Roto-Flex 1/2-3/4 designation as well. If you have been reordering under the older Seatek name, the RF-120A part number is what to ask for now.
6) Should I use a rotary flex cutter or just a hacksaw on MC cable?
A rotary cutter like the Roto-Flex scores the armor as it spins around the cable, so you crack the jacket off without sawing into the conductors underneath. A hacksaw cuts across the armor and takes insulation with it more often than not, which is where nicked conductors and failed inspections come from. On 2/4 through 4/2 armored cable, where the conductors are expensive and the run is already pulled, the rotary tool is the one to reach for.
7) Will the Roto-Flex cutter fit in a tool pouch, and how heavy is it to carry all day?
It measures 7.5 by 3.5 by 4 inches and weighs 1.25 pounds, so it drops into a pouch pocket or the top tray of a bag without taking a bay. That matters for a service tech working off a ladder rather than a bench.
8) Is the Roto-Flex cutter body metal or plastic, and will it hold up on a commercial site?
Metal, specifically a die cast body with an epoxy-enameled finish in black. That is a housing that survives being dropped off a lift and thrown in a gang box, unlike a molded plastic frame. It is made in America.
