A hand wire cutter is a tool for cutting linear materials such as wire rope, cable, and electric wire, which are bundles of thin wires.
Cutting with a hand wire cutter prevents the cut surface of the material from becoming frayed or falling apart. It produces a cleaner cross-section than when cutting with nippers, pliers, or other tools. Strong wires, such as stranded wires, which are made by weaving two or more metal wires together, can also be cut while maintaining their strength.
However, they are not suitable for cutting hard materials such as thick wire or piano wire, as the blades may chip or lose their sharpness.
For the scissors type, similar to nippers or pliers, place the wire to be cut between the blades, grasp the handle by hand, and close the blades to cut.
In the case of the hydraulic manual type, the wire to be cut is set and secured in the blade, and then it is cut by the force of hydraulic pressure when the handle is raised or lowered.
In the case of the hydraulic electric type, there is no need to move the handle up and down. When the trigger of the hand wire cutter is pulled, hydraulic pressure is automatically applied, and the blade moves to cut the wire.
In the case of the electric type, the wire to be cut is clamped between the blades and the hand wire cutter is turned on. Then, pull the trigger of the main unit and the blades move automatically to cut the wire.
When selecting hand wire cutters, be sure to check the maximum cutting capacity, which indicates the maximum diameter of wire that can be cut at one time, and the materials that can be cut. Cutting capacity is generally indicated as "20 mm diameter" or "Φ20 mm". Some are also described together with the material that can be cut, such as "IV Φ20 mm." In this case, it indicates that IV wires (vinyl-insulated wires) up to 20 mm in diameter can be cut.
There are four main types of hand wire cutters: pliers, ratchet, hydraulic, and electric. The type is selected according to the thickness and hardness of the wire to be cut. The features of each type are summarized below.
Hand wire cutters come in a variety of blade shapes and safety features as well as types, so choose appropriately according to your application and purpose. The following is a summary of the main safety features and blade shapes.
