Overview:

6 inch Cable Wire Rope Cutter Cutting Pliers designed for clean, controlled cutting of wire rope and tough wire without crushing or fraying. Built from carbon steel with hardened, tempered shear-cut blades (58HRC), these cutters deliver a strong bite and a neater finish than standard side cutters on cable and braided wire. The spring-loaded action helps reduce hand fatigue during repeated cuts, while the safety lock keeps the jaws closed for safer storage and transport. Finished with comfortable vinyl dipped grips, they’re a practical choice for fencing, workshop jobs, rigging tasks and general maintenance.
