These cordless cutters slice through cable, threaded rods, or bolts to cut them to length. They make faster, cleaner cuts with less effort than manual cable, rod, or bolt cutters. Cable cutters squeeze their sharp-edged jaws through cable to shear it without flattening, splaying, or fraying the ends. This makes it easier to strip cable and slide on lugs, connectors, and other fittings. Bolt, rod, and tray cutters press their blades or dies through bolts, threaded rods, or cable trays, which are too hard or thick to cut with cable cutters.
