Match the cutter's rated capacity to the largest cable cut. For light-duty work (cables up to 6mm² conductor or 10mm overall diameter): hand-shear cable cutters. For medium-duty work (cables up to 25mm² or 16mm overall diameter): heavy-duty hand cutters with leverage handles. For heavy-duty work (armoured cable up to 50mm²): ratchet-action cable cutters that progress through the cable in stages with mechanical advantage. For very large cable (95mm²+): hydraulic cable cutters. Always cut cable cleanly — partial cuts cause stranded-wire damage and unreliable terminations.

Cable strippers with depth-stop adjustment are safer than cable knives for outer-sheath removal — the depth stop limits the blade penetration to the sheath thickness, preventing accidental damage to the inner conductors. Cable knives (hooked-blade and spiral-blade variants) require more skill to use without nicking the inner cables. For trade-installation work, a depth-stopped cable stripper with adjustable blade is the workshop standard. For very thick or heavy-duty cable where the stripper can't reach, a cable knife with extra care.

Cable-tie tensioners pull the cable tie to a preset tension and then automatically cut the excess strap — giving consistent tension across multiple cable ties without over-tensioning (which damages the cable insulation) or under-tensioning (which leaves loose ties). Standard tensioners cover light cable-tie sizes; heavy-duty tensioners cover stainless-steel cable ties used in marine and harsh-environment applications. The tension setting is typically adjustable on a dial; the cutter activates automatically when the preset tension is reached.

Yes — cable-end ferrules (the metal sleeves crimped onto stranded-cable ends to prevent strand-spread in terminal blocks), and the matched crimping tools, are available across the cable-tool range. Ferrule-crimp tools include hand-crimper variants for occasional use and ratchet-action crimpers for trade-installation work. Match the ferrule size to the cable mm²; match the crimp tool's die set to the ferrule range. For workshop electrical-installation work, a ferrule-crimp set covering 0.5-10mm² ferrules covers the typical cable-size range.

Every product is backed by our Fit Guarantee. If a part is incompatible with your machine, you can return it hassle-free.

Within Wire and Cable Tools, Cable Tools covers the specialist hand tools used in cable handling, preparation, and installation work — covering cable strippers (for removing the outer sheath from multi-core cable), cable cutters (sized from light hand-cutters for thin cables up to heavy ratchet cable cutters for armoured cable), cable knives and sheath-cutters, cable-tie tensioners and cutters, cable-pulling tools (cable-pulling grips and grips), cable-end ferruling tools, and the wider range of cable-handling tools used in electrical-installation, panel-build, and vehicle-loom work.

Parts for Machines supplies cable tools across the trade and professional ranges. The category overlaps with the wider Electrical & Cable Tools sub-section under Electrical Repairs, with the difference that this sub-section sits within Hand Tools and groups the specialist cable-handling hand tools alongside the wider hand-tool range.

We are an authorised distributor and seller of Sealey and Draper across the cable tool range. Sealey covers the broadest selection — cable strippers in the workshop and trade-grade ranges, cable cutters in the standard hand-cutter and ratchet-cutter sizes, cable-tie tensioners (for tightening and trimming heavy-duty cable ties to consistent tension), cable-pulling tools, and the matched accessories. Draper extends the range with trade-grade and workshop variants.

Product pages list the tool type (stripper, cutter, knife, tensioner, pulling-grip, etc.), the rated capacity (cable size in mm² for cutters and strippers; cable diameter for outer-sheath strippers), the operating method (manual hand-action, ratchet-action, hydraulic for the largest cable cutters), the construction (chrome-vanadium body with high-carbon-steel cutting edges), the handle type (PVC for general use; insulated VDE 1,000V for electrical-live work), and any specific certifications. Trade pricing on bulk and trade-pack orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
