24-inch cable cutter for wire rope
Westward 10D453 is a general-purpose cable cutter designed to shear electrical and data cables up to 1/2 inch capacity. The 24-inch overall length provides leverage for clean cuts through wire rope. Jaws are made from alloy steel for durability. Handles are steel without cushioned grips.
Shear action requires steady hand pressure
The non-ratcheting shear action cuts in a single squeeze, so the user must apply consistent force across the full stroke. Misaligned jaws can pinch cable strands instead of slicing cleanly. Steel handles transmit vibration and may slip without gloves. No adjustment mechanism is present.
Suits electricians and riggers cutting to 1/2 inch
This tool fits professionals who need a straightforward shear for cable and wire rope within the stated capacity. Workers who prefer ratcheting mechanisms for reduced effort should consider other options. Buyers needing insulated handles for live-circuit work will not find them here. The Proposition 65 notice applies.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the shear cutting action is working properly on the 24 in cable cutter after setup?
Make several test cuts on scrap electrical or data cable up to the 1/2 in capacity; the alloy steel jaws should slice cleanly without crushing the strands and the handles should move smoothly through the full stroke.
What comes in the box with the Westward 10D453 and do I need to buy cushioned grips separately?
The package contains the 24 in general purpose cable cutter with steel handles and alloy steel jaws; cushioned grips are not included, so purchase grip covers separately if you prefer a softer hold.
Which capacity version of this cable cutter should I choose for 1/2 in wire rope?
The 10D453 model is rated for 1/2 in capacity, making it the correct choice for cutting wire rope or electrical cable up to that diameter.
