This isn't your average pair of bolt cutters. The Platinum Tools wire rope cutter is a specialized tool for anyone working with steel cable, wire rope, or synthetic rope. The hardened carbon steel jaws are designed to cleanly cut through wire rope up to 6mm thick (with a max 3mm steel core) and synthetic rope up to 6.5mm, without fraying or unwinding the ends. But here's the cool part: the handles have a built-in crimping cavity. So after you cut your cable to length, you can use the same tool to crimp on a metal sleeve (ferrule) to create a secure loop. It has a rust-resistant finish and comfy TPR grips. It comes in a handy clamshell case for storage. Perfect for marine work, fencing, rigging, stagecraft, or any DIY project involving cable. A real time-saver that combines two tools in one.
