VEVOR Ratcheting Cable Cutter — 1000 MCM / 500 mm², Extendable Handles

Once you're past 600 MCM, the cutter you carry for service work won't close. Utility conductors, large feeder runs, and aluminum service entrance cable in the 700–1000 MCM range need a tool built specifically for the job — not a pair of bolt cutters and a prayer.

This VEVOR ratcheting cable cutter handles aluminum cable up to 1000 MCM (500 mm²) and copper up to 750 MCM (400 mm²), with extendable handles that go from 9 to 11 inches when you need the extra leverage.

Good For

• Utility work, large service entrance cuts, industrial feeder runs
• Cutting 500–1000 MCM aluminum or up to 750 MCM copper
• Jobs where the 600 MCM cutter won't close on what you're cutting

Not For

• Cutting hardened steel wire, ACSR, or armored cable
• Small-gauge trimming where the jaw opening is too large to control
• Attempting cuts past the rated capacity — the tool will tell you before something breaks

Aluminum to 1000 MCM, copper to 750 MCM, extendable handles, $61.97. If your service run is bigger than the smaller cutter handles, this is the step up.
