Matching the tool to your cable
Start with the cable data sheet: check the conductor material and area, then the outside diameter. The 35 mm² and 12 mm limits describe different measurements. A cable must suit the tool’s material and size requirements before you make the cut.
If you need a larger cutter, compare the CUTFOX 18_DB angled cable cutter and CUTFOX 25 VDE_DB. Their product pages show the different cable limits and tool sizes, so you can choose for the job at hand.
For hard wire or cable containing other materials, check a tool designed for that task. For example, the CUTFOX-S VDE_DB diagonal cutter has a stated piano-wire application. Do not transfer one cutter’s material rating to another model.
