Cable Cutter for 500 kcmil Cable

The Westward 10D458 is a general-purpose cable cutter designed for electrical and data cables up to 500 kcmil in copper or aluminum. Its straight cutting action and screw-adjustment mechanism suit electricians and technicians preparing heavy conductors for termination. The 21-1/4 inch overall length provides leverage for clean cuts on large gauge material.

Steel Jaws with Screw Adjustment

Hardened steel jaws with a matte finish resist wear while the screw adjustment lets the user set the blade gap for different cable diameters. Red plastic handles carry a non-slip textured ergonomic grip for control during repetitive cuts. The tool requires no external power or hydraulic source, so it fits directly into a tool bag for field work.

Sustained Cutting on Heavy Conductors

Under continuous use on 500 kcmil cable the steel jaws maintain alignment through the screw mechanism, preventing blade drift that can deform strands. The non-slip grip reduces hand fatigue during long pulling and cutting sessions. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.

Questions about this item

What cable size stops the 500 kcmil jaws from closing cleanly after hours of cutting?

The cutter is rated for copper and aluminum electrical cable up to 500 kcmil; anything larger will not fit the 1 5/8 in jaw opening.

Does the red plastic grip stay cool and quiet during a full day of straight cuts?

The non-slip textured plastic handles are not insulated and have no cushioned grip, so heat and vibration transfer directly to the hand.

Must I already own a specific adjuster to set the screw mechanism before first use?

The adjustment screw is built into the tool; no separate adjuster or accessory is required to operate it.
