Westward 10D462 Cable Cutter
The Westward 10D462 is a shear-cut cable cutter designed for electrical and maintenance tasks. It handles copper and aluminium conductors up to 9/32 in. The 8-1/4 in. overall length provides reach in confined areas while delivering sufficient leverage. This new hand tool suits professionals and DIY users needing clean, deformation-free cuts.
Shear Cut Performance Under Load
The shear-cut mechanism slices through cable without crushing or distorting the strands. Under sustained cutting sessions the blades maintain alignment, producing repeatable clean ends on both copper and aluminium. The cutting capacity remains consistent at 9/32 in. without requiring excessive force. The tool is not suited for hardened steel, armoured cable or diameters beyond the stated limit.
Thermal Noise And Power Characteristics
As a manual hand tool the cutter generates no heat, draws no power and produces only the sound of the blades closing. There is no motor, battery or hydraulic system to create noise or thermal load. The California Proposition 65 notice indicates the presence of listed chemicals; appropriate handling and hygiene are advised during prolonged use.

Questions about this item
Does the shear-cut mechanism require much hand force when used repeatedly all day?
The shear-cut design is made to slice copper and aluminum cleanly without deforming the cable, so each cut needs only moderate hand pressure even during extended use.
What else must I already own for the Westward 10D462 to work?
No extra tools or power source are needed; the cutter operates entirely by hand.
Will the 9/32-inch cutting capacity handle the same cables I cut with my older diagonal pliers?
Yes, it cuts copper and aluminum up to 9/32 in., covering most common electrical and automotive cables that diagonal pliers tackle.
