ratchet cable cutter

Ratchet cable cutters are handy tools for any electrician. Unlike fencing pliers or side cutting pliers, ratchet cable cutters holds on tightly to the cable and allows the user to make continuous, straight cuts. It also has higher cutting capability than pliers, although not as much as pneumatic cable cutters and hydraulic cable cutters. These ratchet cable cutters are the very definition of specialized hand tools. They typically serve just one purpose but do it in a very quick and efficient manner. Due to this specialized nature these are often set aside in favor of multi-purpose tools. However, having the right tool at the right time can make the electrician’s job easier, often with a much better end result.
