Heavy Cable Cutter PT-HCC-271: Clean, High-Leverage Cutting for Copper & Aluminium Conductors
Posted by Paprsky Energy on 16th Jan 2026
Introduction
Accurate, deformation-free cutting of heavy electrical conductors is essential for achieving high-quality terminations and maintaining long-term system reliability. The PT-HCC-271 Heavy Cable Cutter from Paprsky Energy is a manual, double-lever cutting tool engineered to deliver smooth, non-crushing cuts on copper and aluminium conductors. It is ideally suited for installers, panel builders, and maintenance teams working in industrial and commercial environments.
What Is the PT-HCC-271?
The PT-HCC-271 is a hand-operated heavy cable cutter that utilizes a double-lever transmission mechanism to amplify cutting force while significantly reducing operator effort. It is specifically designed to cut solid and multi-stranded copper and aluminium conductors within its rated capacity, producing clean, precise shears suitable for immediate termination or jointing.
This tool is not intended for cutting steel wire or wire rope.
