It's Amazing!

I had lost the key to one of my wire trunk locks so I kinda needed something heavy duty to cut the lock. Low and behold, it worked! Now I can use this to cut my speed jump ropes since I go through them so much.

Very nice cutter

Long handles provide good leverage. Blades are solid and cut well. If you need to get rid of your finger in a hurry this will deffinately work.

The are a great quality tool

They are a great quality tool, as always expected from Klein. I use them to cut fiber optic cable. They go through armored/unarmored, 4 fiber to 864 fiber, like butter. Beware steel! As described form the manufacturer, the cutters are made for soft cable. I've chewed the jaws up a bit just ringing around steel strength members. I use these cutters every day and am very happy with them.

Great tool!

This tool is so great, I use it all the time in my job. It’s comfortable to use. Before I had these I had a pair of Green Lees and while good, I much prefer the Klein Tools cable cutters.

Perfect for the job they are intended for

I don't have to use these very often, but, when I do, they sure come in handy. They feel comfortable to grip and they hold a nice edge. Obviously they have some limitations to the size cable or conductor the can tackle. Some jobs are better suited for a ratcheting cable cutters or a portaband. However, if used propely, this tool will cut with ease and last you a long time.

Well made tool

Stiff to operate. I’m sure it will loosen up. Very durable and sharp, good tool. Will buy more.

Cuts through 0 gauge wires like butter.

I was doing my "Big 3" upgrade in my car to decrease resistance and load on the electrical system. (I won't go into the details here but just hit up your favorite search engine and type in "Big 3 Upgrade". I purchased some good quality 0 gauge cables and was looking for some quality cutters to get a nice clean slice. I hate having frayed wires for two reasons: aesthetics and safety. Frayed wires look like you had your dog chew through it on purpose and it can also lead to metal splinters (which are not fun and worse than wood splinters). The Klein J63050 Cable Cutter is an amazing piece of tool. It is solidly built, comes with nice comfy grips and cut through those cables like they were string. They always say you have to have the right tools for the job. If I ever need to cut large gauge cables, I'm definitely going to use this tool. Great purchase!

Five Stars

Cuts through pretty much anything with ease. I have a few pair for different locations in my job.

Klein Tools 63050 9-1/2-Inch High Leverage Cable Cutter

I had one of these for many years .. someone borrowed and cut steel wire .. grrrr. So this is my second pair .. Klein Quality is a given and comparable to Knipex. These are good down to 4 gage THHN/MTW (one stoke .. my strength) and also work nicely as a stripper for that gage with very little practice. This cutter is NOT for ACSR (Steel Core) wire .. Copper Only. Update 5/16/2018: Last pair went into the ether, so a re-order. I've recently updated my battery banks here (55 Kwh) and found that these Kleins cut through 00 gauge welding cable like buttah. Welding cable is ideal for building your own cables, and it is also basically "Full Soft" temper. I mention this, as I also have 00 gauge feeders from the PV, which is your standard THHN/MTW half-hard temper house wire, and even the Kleins would struggle with this, where a ratcheting cable cutter worked just fine.

Great tool for the right job

We use this for castrations on the farm and it’s just fine! The trick is to get the jaws real hot, so I use some leather gloves to hold them. You gotta be quick though because if the horse moves you’ll have to snip them twice and nobody wants that.
