Introduction

Accurate and reliable cable cutting is essential for safe electrical installations, maintenance work, and long-term system performance. Clean cuts help preserve conductor integrity, ensure secure terminations, and reduce the risk of overheating or connection failure.

The Ratchet Cable Cutter PT-RCC-268 from Paprsky Energy is a robust, heavy-duty hand tool engineered to deliver controlled, precise cuts of large copper, aluminium, and steel-reinforced conductors across industrial, commercial, and utility environments.

What Is the PT-RCC-268 Ratchet Cable Cutter?

The PT-RCC-268 is a ratchet-type cable cutting tool designed for demanding, high-capacity cutting applications. Its high-torque ratchet mechanism multiplies operator force, enabling efficient cutting with reduced manual effort and controlled one-handed operation, even in confined workspaces.

Equipped with a hardened tool steel blade featuring a treated cutting edge, the cutter delivers smooth, repeatable cuts that meet professional installation standards while maintaining long service life.

Key Features

The PT-RCC-268 is built to combine strength, control, and durability for industrial cable work.

Its compact yet substantial structure allows reliable handling while maintaining the strength required for large conductor cutting.

The hardened tool steel blade provides a smooth shearing surface, ensuring clean cuts without crushing or deforming the cable.

The high-torque ratcheting design significantly reduces physical effort while improving cutting efficiency and consistency.

The repeatable knife edge maintains cutting performance over extended use, minimizing downtime and maintenance requirements.

Technical Specifications

The PT-RCC-268 is engineered to handle larger conductor sizes commonly found in industrial and utility installations.

It supports steel strands below 150 mm² cross-section and steel-core aluminium stranded conductors below 800 mm², covering a wide range of heavy-duty applications.

The tool measures approximately 490 × 140 × 40 mm, providing leverage and stability during cutting operations.

With an approximate weight of 2.8 kg, the cutter offers a solid, durable build suitable for repetitive industrial use.

This balance of cutting range, size, and strength makes the PT-RCC-268 well suited for power distribution and large-scale electrical infrastructure work.

Applications

The PT-RCC-268 Ratchet Cable Cutter is suitable for a wide variety of industrial and utility-focused applications.

In power distribution and utility installations, it is used for cutting feeder, service, and grounding cables.

Within industrial control panels and switchgear systems, it supports the termination of thick conductors with precision.

For cable trays and ladder systems, the tool enables field-ready cutting of routed cables during installation or modification.

In renewable energy projects, such as solar farms, wind installations, and substations, it assists in preparing large conductors for secure electrical connections.

Benefits

The PT-RCC-268 delivers practical advantages for professionals handling heavy electrical conductors.

It produces clean, non-crushing cuts, preserving conductor structure and ensuring reliable electrical connections.

The ratchet-driven mechanism reduces operator fatigue, improving productivity during repetitive cutting tasks.

Its durable construction is designed to withstand heavy field use in industrial and utility environments.

The tool offers versatile performance, supporting copper, aluminium, and selected steel-cored conductors within its rated capacity.

Conclusion

The Ratchet Cable Cutter PT-RCC-268 from Paprsky Energy is a reliable industrial solution for professionals working with large, heavy conductors in industrial, commercial, and utility settings. With its high-torque ratchet mechanism, hardened blade, and ergonomic design, it delivers the strength and precision required for consistent, high-quality cable cutting.
