Product Overview

When working with heavier gauge wire rope, leverage is key. The Deacon Wire 18″ Long Handled Wire Rope Cutter is engineered to handle wire diameters up to 5mm with ease. The extended handle length provides significant mechanical advantage, allowing the user to generate high cutting force without excessive physical exertion.

Unlike standard bolt cutters which tend to flatten and crush wire rope, these specialized cutters feature induction-hardened bypass shear blades. This design ensures that the wire profile remains round and the individual strands do not splay, which is critical when trying to insert the cut end into swage terminals, ferrules, or other tight-fitting rigging components. They are an indispensable tool for professional riggers, fencing contractors, and marine engineers.

Important Safety Notice: This product is a manual cutting tool. It is not a load-bearing component. Always ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), specifically eye protection, as small pieces of wire can fly off during the cutting process.
