Cable Cutting & Preparation – Tools & Solutions
Proper cable cutting and preparation is essential before any crimping or termination work. Cablectrix offers quality tools from brands like Klauke and Cembre. Whether you need hand-operated cutters, battery powered units, hydraulic heads, or stripping tools, we have solutions to suit different wire sizes, production volumes, and environments.
1. Hand Operated Cutting Tools
These are simple, reliable tools perfect for smaller jobs or occasional use:
- Precision blades for clean cuts
- VDE or insulated cutting tools for safety
- Compact designs for ease of access in tight spaces
- Replacement blades often available to maintain performance
2. Battery & Hydraulic Cutting Tools
For heavier duty work or higher volume, battery or hydraulic cutting tools offer speed and power:
- Battery powered cutters — cordless, fast, clean
- Hand hydraulic cutting tools for moderate power without full setup
- Hydraulic cutting heads for use with larger frames or machines
- Cable cutting sets for multiple sizes or larger gauge wires
3. Cable Stripping Tools & Accessories
After cutting, removing insulation cleanly is key for good connections and safety:
- Hand stripping tools for common wire sizes
- Insulation scoops, precision blades or knife tools
- Multifunction tools that combine stripping, cutting, and measuring
- Replacement blades and parts to keep precision high
4. Tool Sets & Specialist Accessories
For frequent or complex work, having complete sets and correct accessories saves time:
- Cut-tool sets with multiple sizes in one kit
- Cutting blades, heads and holders for hydraulic and battery tools
- Expansion tools, special cutters (e.g. thread-rod, overarm) where needed
- Damaged or hardened blade replacement options for prolonged tool life
5. Choosing the Right Tool for Your Needs
- Match tool capacity to wire gauge or cable size
- Consider frequency of use — occasional vs heavy volume work
- Check safety or insulation requirements (VDE, jumpers, etc.)
- Choose battery vs corded vs hydraulic based on site access and power availability
- Maintain good blade sharpness and correct cutting angles for clean cuts
