Westward 1YNA9 Cable Cutter Shear Cut
The Westward 1YNA9 is a general-purpose cable cutter designed for electrical and data cable work. Its shear cutting action produces clean cuts on aluminium, communication cable and soft copper. Cushioned steel handle grips provide comfort and secure gripping power during repeated use. The tool measures 9 1/4 inches overall and is supplied new.
Compatibility Check Before Ordering
Verify that the cables you intend to cut fall within the 1/4 inch capacity for general cable and the 1/32 inch maximum diameter for data cable. Confirm the material is aluminium, communication cable or soft copper, as harder metals may damage the jaws. The shear action requires enough hand strength to close the steel handles fully. No ratcheting mechanism is present to multiply force.
Upgrade From Basic Snips
This cutter replaces simple diagonal cutters or lineman’s pliers when clean, deformation-free cuts on communication and data cables are required. The jump is worth it for installers who regularly prepare aluminium or soft copper conductors and need the cushioned grip for all-day comfort. It is not suited for heavy-gauge power cable, steel wire or armoured sheathing beyond the stated capacities.
