Cable Shear for Electrical Work
The Klein Tools 63016 is a 7-1/2 inch cable shear designed for electricians and technicians who cut aluminum, soft steel and wire rope on the job. Its hardened steel blades and plastic-coated grips provide leverage for clean, repeatable cuts in daily service work.
Cutting Capacity Limits
The shear handles aluminum up to 3/16 in, soft steel up to 5/32 in and wire rope up to 3/16 in. Material thicker than these figures will not cut cleanly and can damage the precision-ground blades, so the tool must stay within its rated capacities.
Capacity and Headroom
The tool comfortably processes standard residential and light commercial conductors within the stated limits. It runs out on larger feeders, ACSR cable or hardened alloys that exceed the 3/16 in aluminum and 5/32 in steel thresholds, requiring a larger cutter for those tasks.
