Westward 10D465 Cable Cutter
The Westward 10D465 is an 8 inch hand tool designed for cutting electrical cable, communication cable and soft steel. It suits electricians and construction workers who need a reliable cutter for daily wiring tasks. The blade forging delivers strength and helps prevent deformation when cutting through tough material.
Cuts wire rope up to 5/32 inch
This cutter handles wire rope up to 5/32 inch in diameter, making that capacity the key specification for selecting the right tool. The high-strength spring reduces the effort required for each cut. The cutting edge and high-frequency quenching help prevent chipping and cracking during use.
Sustained cutting with forged blade
Under repeated use the forged blade resists deformation and the quenched edge resists chipping, so performance stays consistent across many cuts. The high-strength spring maintains its return force over long sessions. The tool is built for continuous cutting work rather than occasional snips.

Questions about this item
How does the 5/32-inch capacity translate when cutting wire rope on site?
The cutter shears wire rope up to 1/8 inch diameter, so the rated 5/32-inch limit applies to softer electrical and communication cables, not to wire rope.
What interface does the tool use to transfer cutting force?
It relies on a high-strength spring mechanism that multiplies hand pressure, with no external power or hydraulic connection required.
What clearance does the 8-inch frame need in a tool bag or on a belt?
The overall length is 8 inches, so allow at least that much straight space plus handle width for comfortable carry and quick access.
