Description

Cutting and Stripping

FVR31874-1 – Ratcheting Cable Cutter

Provides clean, controlled cutting of copper or aluminum conductors with one-handed operation, making it ideal for confined spaces. Delivers burr-free cuts without crushing the conductor, preserving its integrity for the next installation step.

Why It Matters in the Field

  • Operates with one hand in confined spaces, without requiring a second support point.
  • The integrated eyelet opens the ratcheting head, providing a clear view of the cutting point.
  • Special alloy steel blade delivers more cuts between sharpenings and extended service life.

FVR32534-1 – Conductor Insulation Stripping Pliers

Removes the insulation from medium-voltage cables (XLPE, PVC and HDPE) with one-handed operation at any point along the cable. Adjustable blades allow both longitudinal and circumferential stripping while providing a clear view of the operation.

Why It Matters in the Field

  • Safe handling of insulated cables up to 1 kV.
  • Removable blades can be replaced or resharpened without replacing the tool.
  • Supplied with a complete kit including a 4 mm Allen key, carrying pouch, two spare blades and a caliper for conductor measurement..
