      I used these today to cut bike brake and shifter cables. They did very well, no flattening or unbarring.

          What cutters should I use to cut barbed wire fence?
          ByJul 5, 2019
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hey CT, For cutting barbed wire fence we would recommend a more heavy duty cutter such as the 0890mc or the PWC9 if the material is under 5/32", the lighter cutters for cable will wear out prematurely and the blade can be damaged due to the harder material. The bolt cutters will make the work easier and last longer but they do cost a bit more. https://www.homedepot.com/p/H-K-Porter-Center-Cut-Compact-Bolt-Cutter-0890MC/205468591 https://www.homedepot.com/p/H-K-Porter-8-in-Wire-Cutters-PWC9/100174049 Thanks!

                  Will these cut 1/8 inch wire rope
                  ByFeb 13, 2016

                  Answer This Question

                  Buddy, These are designed to cut electrical cables, mainly Copper (up to 2/0) and Aluminium (up to 4/0). The 1/8 inch steel wire rope/cable you would be cutting would most likely damage the blades on this cutter. I would suggest using the H.K. Porter 7-1/2 in. Pocket Wire Rope and Cable Cutters: Model # 0690TN Internet # 205369894 which are available on Home Depots website. These are specifically designed to cut wire rope and cable. They are designed to cut cable up to 3/16 inch with a shear style jaw.

                    No, the cable cutters are not suitable for that application.

                        Electric car charger cable cutter
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These wire cutters were the perfect addition to my grab bag. We have been doing a lot of 6awg installation with electric car chargers, and these things cut perfectly. They fit well in your pocket, but do take some effort to cut 6/3 with ground in one pass. Easily cuts everything else with less effort. Won’t hurt your hands, or pockets.

                          One-Hand Wire Beast: Tackles Tough Wires Easy
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to review these heavy-duty wire cutters to test their suitability for one-handed operation in electrical work. They were particularly useful for cutting 2/0 gauge stranded copper wire on the positive battery cable of my truck and 10/3 Romex while setting up a dryer, thanks to their lower cutting force and optimized blades. My experience was mixed. The non-slip grips indeed provided for solid purchase on the handles which was great for someone with larger hands like myself. However, I could see the wide handle spread making everyday use somewhat cumbersome. On the positive side, the cutters required minimal effort to slice through wires, indicating good quality of materials and solid construction. These cutters added significant convenience by allowing for quick, efficient cuts without needing two hands, potentially increasing productivity on job sites. They meet the need for heavy-duty cutting but might not be ideal for those with smaller hands due to the handle design. Verdict: • Pros: Easy cutting, fatigue-reducing grip, durable. • Cons: Handle spread could be less practical for daily use. This product would be best for electricians or DIY enthusiasts dealing with heavy gauge wires, especially those with larger/stronger hands. Before buying, one should consider the handle size. My star rating reflects these points, balancing the utility with the ergonomic concerns.

                            Great sharp tool thats handy to have around.
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cutters are a great addition to any shop or jobsite. Mainly use mine in the garage where heavy wire is being ran to run accessories and big draw items. I have found they also work great to cut rubber lines for fuel or any other automotive fluids.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] good tool overall. the cutting edges are sharp, the two halves are right to each other and the handles are comfortable. I use them for cable cutting and scoring the outer jacket of cables when stepping them and they work as advertised.

                                They are lil but cut very well. Don’t judge size.
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first the size I was like we’ll see and next thing you know I used them and they work very well for cutting wire. I was very shocked how nice they cut and actually seem to be a decent size once using.

                                  Best everyday cutter I've tried
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this little cutter. It's actually not little at all, it's about perfect for my larger hands to hold it one handed or two. It cuts 12-3 no problem. It also feels really sturdy, almost no flex in the handles at all. It's already my go to cutter for everyday jobs right next to my 11 in 1 screwdriver. You will enjoy having this on hand.

                                    A beast among wire cutters!
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is a beast. I have been looking for something that will cut up to 4/0 and these cutters do the job with aplomb, with plenty of jaw spread. There is also no scrimping on the actual handles either, which are as comfortable as well they cut, with plenty of leverage to get the job done.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great set of cable cutters. They feel good in the hand and are plenty sharp. I used them to cut wire for a three phase motor and I have zero problems what so ever getting through the cable. Other cutters I have used have struggled but these worked great!

                                        The cutters handle very well. The grip was comfortable. I was cutting 10 gauge wire and it easily cut through. I've only had it about two weeks now and I've used it maybe four times. I definitely met my expectations.
