Klein Tools 63035 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable will the Klein Tools 63035 cutter handle?
The 63035 utility cable cutter is rated to 350 MCM copper and 350 MCM aluminum. That covers most service entrance and feeder conductors up to 350 kcmil. Anything larger than 350 MCM needs a bigger cutter or a hydraulic head.
2) Can I use the Klein 63035 to cut steel cable or ACSR?
No. Klein specifically warns against cutting steel or ACSR with the 63035. The shear-type hook jaws are built for copper and aluminum conductors; steel strand will damage the blades. For ACSR you need a cutter rated for it.
3) Are the Klein 63035 cable cutter handles insulated for live work?
They are not. The 63035 has plastic-dipped vinyl grips in red, and Klein states plainly that the tool is NOT insulated. Plastic-dipped or slip-on handles give you grip and comfort, not shock protection. If you are working energized you need a tool rated and marked 1000V insulated.
4) How long is the Klein 63035 cable cutter and how much does it weigh?
Overall length is 16.75 inches (42.5 cm) and it weighs 1.7 lb (0.8 kg). That is a two-handed tool, so plan on room to open the handles in a panel or pull box; it is not something you work one-handed in a tight gutter.
5) Does the Klein 63035 crush cable like a side cutter, or make a clean cut?
It shears rather than crushes. The hook jaws grab and hold the cable while the shearing action cuts it, so the conductor keeps its round shape for terminating into a lug. Beveled tips keep the blades mating properly through the cut.
6) Can blade tension be adjusted on the Klein 63035 if the jaws loosen up?
Yes. The 63035 uses a hinge bolt with a pin-set nut, so blade tension can be set to keep the shears mating correctly instead of being scrapped once play develops. Blades are forged steel with a black-oxide finish.
7) What is the Klein part number for this utility cable cutter?
Klein Tools 63035, the utility cable cutter. Order by that MPN; the cutting rating is 350 MCM copper and aluminum.
