Details:

The StepCut cable shears is for solid, multi-core stranded copper and aluminum cables up to 1/0 AWG. The Step Cut’s most unique feature is its cutting-edge gradations that cut wires and strands one by one without crushing the cable. This process makes cutting up to 40 percent easier than standard cable shears of the same length. The StepCut features induction hardened cutting edges (approx. 56 HRC) and precision-ground blades for precise, clean cutting. The cutting edges are milled to a wavy form on the front and ground flat on the back. The StepCut comes in a compact 6 1/4" length and its bolted joint design provides precise and smooth cutting. Other features include a pinch guard that prevents the operator’s fingers from getting pinched and a body made from high-grade special tool steel that is forged and oil-hardened.
