Greenlee727 9-3/4" Handheld Cable Cutter for Copper and Aluminum Cables Up to 2/0, 70 Square Millimeters

I got tired of trying to cut through some of the thicker cables I use for my Ham Radio station and decided to break down and buy these. After using them now for some time, I really should have made this purchase long ago. These are great cutters, they are strong, sharp and it’s obvious they will last a lifetime. They make what used to be a tedious chore a simple act.As far as saving time, they do this by simply and quickly cutting my cables. They save me money because now my cables start off with very clean straight cuts and when I am working to attach the various adapters (which are also expensive) I have a great starting point and don’t have to worry about re-working the ends before making the attachments.5 stars, great tool, great price and if you need to cut any serious cables they are well worth the investment.

I needed a replacement for an old damaged cable cutter and purchased these based on Greenlee's reputation for quality. Now, pliers of any kind are for the most part pretty simple, but they do need to be made properly in order to work well. These Greenlees don't disappoint. Whether cutting thick power cable, or LMR coax, the result is the same, a clean cut ready to prep for termination. I heartily recommend them.

Simple. They cut really well. Very solid! I wish I had bought these years ago.

I thought I was purchasing the green handle cutters which are made in the USA, I owned a pair for 13 years and lost them, so I figured I was purchasing the same product but instead I got the black handles which are not made in the USA.

I work in the telcome industry, cell towers to be more specific and these are a must have for me. These cable cutters (or lobster cutters, as we call them) get used multiple times daily. I've had this greenlee set for about 8 or more months now and they have easily cut everything I could throw at them and still perform like brand new. I'm a huge Klein guy, 90% of my tools, and the bag I keep them in are Klein but these greenlee cutters in my opinion and experience outlast and outperform every set of Klein cable cutters I've owned and/or used on the job. That's not a jab at Klein, but a testament of how well these greenlee cutters perform. I highly recommend them and will be using only greenlee cable cutters from now on.

This tool has a slightly different shape than the one in the picture, a different color handle, and both sides of the blade are ground, rather than one side, so it is not clear that this was forged. Also the tool is heavier than I expected, and the hinge is stiffer than I expected. Overall, not great at all, I specifically wanted the original, as pictured. Not sure if the design was changed, or if these are a fraud. I do pretty high-paced, high-volume work, so I want only the best tools, and I already have another 'adequate' cable cutter by Crescent which I was hoping to replace. . Unfortunately I opened the single-use package before noticing the differences, so it probably can't be returned.update; I did return the tool and later reordered from another seller. got the same result. it appears that the tool has been re-designed; basically it has a lower quality steel than the one I remember; it doesn't hold its edge as well, the edge is less fine, and the overall tool is much heavier. Very disappointed, but I kept it this time becuase it does work, and I don't use it often enough to need a really good one.Update; a couple years have gone by and they are still using the old image. False advertising. The new model is just noy worth its weight in your tool belt. Really disappointing.

This is a very heavy duty cutter that easily goes through main wiring harnesses in vehicles. Keep in mind that while this is called a cable cutter it is not meant for steel cables. It works best on copper or aluminum wire cables. As I still have Greenlee tools from the 70's I would expect this to last a long time as well.

Ordered 12/28/21Like others have stated. This is not made in the USA. This does not have green handles. The picture is wrong. See the pictures of that I received.That being out of the way. They are fairly sharp-but stiff. Will take some oiling to help break them in.

Haven't got to use them yet, but they feel great and solid and best of all, made in Japan! The Japanese make great tool steel and tools that will last a very long time!Update; I used them for several cuts of 4 gauge copper wire and a couple of 0 gauge (more than 0 gauge, actually over 5100 O.F.C strands) and I had to squeeze a little harder for the heavy wire but they sliced right through and left a better cut than what they came with from the manufacturer!! Impressive I'd say!! I love 'em!

Nice cutters. Work great.

Buen producto llego antes de tiempoy corta fácilmente los cables

La imagen de la publicación no coincide con el producto que recibes, en el titulo solo dice "negro", pero no especifica que sea el color del mango, yo esperaba recibir las pinzas clásicas, hechas en USA, como se ve en la imagen publicada, por el contrario te llegan unas pinzas hechas en Taiwán.

Newer style handle then the pictures but same great quality
