The Crescent H.K. Porter 28" Ratcheting Soft Cable Cutter is designed for cutting copper and aluminum cable up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick or 2500 MCM. Its ratcheting design provides up to twice the mechanical advantage of manual cutters, while the shear-cut jaws are designed for heavy-duty cable cutting applications. Grips designed for multiple cutting positions allow the cutter to be used in the hands, against the shoulder or hip, or on the ground for added leverage and control.

The cutter features steel blades that are forged and machined in the USA with precision heat treatment for longer blade life. A blade keeper helps prevent the blades from spreading under heavy loads, while the 28-inch overall length and steel handles support leverage during cutting. The tool is intended for non-energized copper and aluminum cable only and must never be used on energized circuits, wire, or cable.
