Klein Tools 63225 Cable Cutter — 9-Inch High-Leverage USA-Made for Aluminum, Copper & Communications Cable

Professional-grade control for cable work

The Klein Tools 63225 is a 9-inch high-leverage cable cutter engineered to handle aluminum, copper, and communications cable with consistent, clean cuts. The tool's through-hardened cutting surfaces resist wear, while the cable-gripping jaws hold materials securely for precise shearing. A compact profile and comfortable grip make it suitable for use in busy work sites and tight spaces alike.

An important benefit for pro users is its high-leverage design, which translates to about 30% less force required to cut than Klein's 63050 model. Beyond saving effort, this reduction helps you maintain control when working near panels, in awkward corners, or with stubborn conductors. The combination of one-hand operation and smooth, predictable action supports steady progress over long tasks without sacrificing accuracy.
