Cable cutter for copper and aluminium
The Ideal 35-033 is a 32 in shear-cut cable cutter designed for copper and aluminium conductors only. Its precision-ground jaws produce clean cuts with minimal cable distortion. The tool is not intended for steel or ACSR. It suits electricians and maintenance technicians who need reliable cutting on non-ferrous cables.
Installation and common issues
No installation is required; the cutter is ready to use from the box. The comfort-grip handles reduce fatigue during repetitive work. Replaceable blades extend service life when cutting edges wear. The main error is attempting to cut steel or ACSR, which damages the forged blades and voids their durability.
Shear-cut limits on non-ferrous cable
The shear action is limited to copper and aluminium materials as specified. Cutting harder metals exceeds the jaw design and causes premature blade failure. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects. Users must observe this restriction when selecting cable types.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 32 in cable cutter is cutting cleanly after setup?
Make a test cut on copper or aluminium cable; the precision-ground jaws should leave a smooth end with minimal distortion, confirming the shear action is working as intended.
What comes in the box with the 35-033 and what must I purchase separately?
The cutter ships with its comfort-grip handles and replaceable steel blades installed; replacement blades are sold separately when the originals wear out.
Which version of the 32 in shear cutter should I choose for copper and aluminium only?
Select the 35-033 model — it is built with high-strength forged blades specifically for copper and aluminium and is not designed for steel or ACSR.
