JIC-63050 High Leverage Cable Cutter - Chrome Vanadium Steel, Induction-Hardened Edges, Cuts Aluminum, Copper & 100-Pair 24 AWG Cable, Ergonomic Grip, 13/16” Jaw Opening (Color May Vary)

I've just recently learned of Jonard tools. I purchased this and a cable stripper for a large project. I'm Thrilled with the performance of both items. Expensive but you get what you pay for! I expect I'll never have to replace these due to the superior quality+

Razor sharp and beefy. Easily cut through the copper wiring for my car audio installation.

I was building a battery bank and needed something to cut a bunch of 2/0 copper cable with. These came and did the job just fine. The action is tight and the jaws are sharp. When used for cutting Soft Copper cables, they should last a long time. I am very happy with my purchase.

I have several strategies for the drumsticks, and one is to trim them and flavor with a mixture of fresh ginger paste and teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, and kosher salt and then bake them in the oven. After doing this a while, I had the idea of cutting-off the ends of the drumsticks to make them into a "ball" shape with a tiny handle, so they don't look so much like drumsticks. it's a visual presentation type of activity. This electric cable tool is perfect for this purpose. I like to get 10 lbs. sacks of chicken leg quarters from the local Walmart Supercenter. I have a very nice Victorinox slicing knife with Granton edge and use it to separate the thighs and drumsticks. I soak the thighs in Bulgarian Buttermilk for a few days and then fry the thighs for 5 minutes per side after spicing and flouring them and then finish them in the oven at 320-degrees Fahrenheit for about 90 minutes to cook them thoroughly. They usually are large, but if smaller then bake for 60 minutes. Lightly frying gets the skin crisp and golden but does not over cook them. Baking on a raised cookie sheet rack with parchment paper underneath lets the residual peanut oil drain onto the parchment paper (easy cleanup) and the result is fried chicken thighs that are not oily. If you were not told they were baked, then you would think they were fried the whole time and not baked. Putting the spices first and then doing the flour coating preserves the spices and does not burn them, which is a tip from Alton Brown. I bake the drumsticks or use them for chicken soup with mirepoix (carrots, celery, onions, sautéed in butter and then slow-cooked). P. S. I am a Vine Voice, but I paid for these myself. They were not a free gift. I am very happy with them, and they are perfect as a kitchen utensil for trimming the ends off chicken drumsticks.

I do some work on golf carts most are electric I was using a bolt cutter to cut cable ends to replace the lug or build new cables. After using these I'm amazed at how much cleaner the cuts are. More than worth the money. Most cuts are on 6 or 4-gauge copper cable.

Works great. Cuts battery cables just fine

I really like these, but am disappointed in the durability. I purchased them to cut out and remove lots of old abandoned cloth covered copper NM cable (12 gauge, 2 wire (no ground)) from my attic. Cutters worked really well, but at the end of the day (~40 cuts) the cutting surfaces had large dents in them. I only cut the copper wire, nothing else. The wires were ~70 years old, maybe they were harder than newer copper?

I'm an electronics tech and the "cable guy" for the company I work for. This is the industry standard tool for cutting heavy gauge wire. I use it for 1/0, 2, 4, and 6 AWG stranded wire and welding cable. It is very sharp and strong. I have a couple of these cutters, one in my tool box, and one in my tool bag. One is at least 3 years old, the other is over a year old. I use them every day and they are still sharp. The older one has a few nicks on the jaw blades but still cuts fine. It could cut a finger off no problem, so don't let kids play with them! I not only cut wire with these, I also use them for stripping the insulation off the wire. A quick light spin of the jaws around the cable scores the insulation so it pulls right off.
