Review: Cuts like a champ - Only used a couple of times on 6/4 wire. Works fine. For the price, a great value so far. Feels like they should last a while as they are built pretty solid. So solid that the ratcheting part is a tad stiff though I expect that to loosen up over time.
Review: Quality tool - Works great. Very well made and cuts good.

Works great. Very well made and cuts good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool that easily cuts 4/0 AWG copper cable.
*by D***O on July 30, 2025*

I am putting a diy solar power system together and needed some way to work with 4/0 AWG cable. This wire is super thick and most of the cutting tools I saw on Amazon only claimed to work on thinner 2/0 AWG wire. Many also had long hair does for leverage and reviews claimed that it was difficult to cut straight due to the required force needed. This ratcheting cutter made cutting the 4/0 AWG copper cable very easy to do with one hand. Perfectly smooth cuts through the thick stuff in seconds as easy as thinner wire. I am very impressed. I can't make any claims about longevity since I've only had it about a week, but so far I think this is a fantastic tool that fits easily into your tool box. Well worth the cost even for just allowing me ti finish my project.
