FAQs

Because it crushes the conductor flat rather than shearing it. A flattened end has to be cut again before a terminal or lug can be fitted to it.

Copper and aluminium shear cleanly. Steel-cored and armoured cable does not, and a cutter used outside its rating chips its edge rather than dulling gradually.

A shearing cutter closes in one squeeze within its rated size. A ratchet cutter takes the cut in stages, which is how a heavy conductor is cut by hand at all.

One where the blade profile steps the cut, so the conductor is taken progressively across the blade rather than all at once at one point.

For live-adjacent work, where the 1000V rating applies. That is a rated tool rather than an insulated-looking one, and the marking is on the tool.

One attaching to the person so it cannot be dropped from height. That protects whoever is below rather than the user, which is why it is used at height.

Cable Cutters/Shears

This category covers hand tools for cutting electrical cable and wire cleanly. The range includes cable shears from 160mm upwards, VDE-rated insulated cable shears and cutters for electrical installation work, ratchet action cable cutters for larger cable, telescopic ratchet shears, a ribbon cable cutter and combination cutters. Universal shears and a wire rope cutter are also listed for cutting other materials.

Brands include Draper and Sealey. Choose by the cable size and type you cut most often: compact shears suit smaller conductors and multi-core flex, while ratchet action cutters reduce hand effort on heavy cable. Longer handles give more leverage, and telescopic versions can be extended for extra reach. Where the task calls for insulated tools, select a VDE-rated model.
