Cimco 122016 hand cable cutter

The Cimco 122016 hand cable cutter is a manual cutting tool engineered for clean, controlled cuts of a variety of cable types. With ergonomically shaped black and red handles, the tool offers a secure grip and good leverage for repetitive cutting tasks. The compact head and blade geometry are intended to access tighter spaces and provide straight cuts on soft and medium-hard cables commonly encountered in electrical, telecom and general maintenance work.

Advantages

The hand cable cutter combines a compact form factor with robust blade construction to deliver reliable cutting performance. Its handle design reduces hand fatigue during extended use while the cutting mechanism maintains consistent blade alignment for precise results. The tool is lightweight enough for portable use yet sturdy enough to withstand frequent professional use.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical cables and wires
• Telecommunications and network cable preparation
• General maintenance and installation tasks
• DIY projects involving medium-soft to medium-hard cable materials

Key specifications

• Type: hand-operated cable cutter
• Handle: ergonomically shaped, two-colour (black and red)
• Cutting capacity: suitable for soft and medium-hard cables (typical multi-core and single-core cables)
• Head design: compact for access in confined spaces
• Construction: metal blade and steel body for durability

How to use

Position the cable between the blades at the required cutting point and apply steady pressure to the handles until the blade completes the cut. For thicker sections make progressive small cuts rather than forcing a single full stroke. Keep fingers clear of the cutting area and ensure the cable is supported to prevent pinching or slippage. After use, wipe the blades clean and store the cutter in a dry place to limit corrosion and maintain cutting performance.

Recommendations

Use the cutter on cables within its intended capacity; avoid cutting hardened steel wire, live conductors or materials containing armouring. Wear appropriate hand protection when performing repetitive cuts and inspect the blade regularly for nicks or dulling to preserve safe and effective operation.
