Ideal 35-053 Ratcheting Cable Cutter

The Ideal 35-053 Ratcheting Cable Cutter delivers power and precision when cutting large-diameter copper or aluminium cable. Designed with durability in mind, this tool is purpose-built for professional-grade tasks that demand consistent results. Its ratcheting mechanism allows for easy, one-handed operation, helping users complete jobs with minimal fatigue.

Thanks to its heavy-duty construction, the Ideal 35-053 remains reliable across repeated use in demanding environments. The blade system uses hardened steel to maintain sharpness, even when handling tough, hard-drawn conductors. With its rounded cutting edges, this tool helps reduce cable distortion for a clean, professional finish.

Designed for Precision

The moulded-in foot offers added stability, making it easier to maintain control when cutting thicker cables. Additionally, the quick release mechanism ensures that blades can be backed out safely and efficiently—ideal when working in tight spaces or handling stubborn cable.

Built for the Jobsite

Whether you’re a commercial electrician or utility contractor, the Ideal 35-053 Ratcheting Cable Cutter is designed to meet your demands. A locking mechanism keeps the handles secured during transport and storage. This cutter is not suitable for use on steel or ACSR cables, ensuring optimal performance on intended materials.
