Hastings - Cable Slicer, 1000AL/500CU, Fiberglass Handle, 10-072

Hastings 10-072 Cable Slicer — 1000 MCM Aluminum / 500 MCM Copper, Fiberglass Handle

The Hastings 10-072 Cable Slicer is a professional-grade cutting tool engineered for soft copper and aluminum conductors up to 1000 MCM aluminum and 500 MCM copper. Drop-forged cutter blades deliver flush, burr-free cuts without conductor deformation — a critical requirement for clean terminations and splices. Replaceable fiberglass handles are electrically tested to 100KV per foot for enhanced safety in high-voltage environments. Both blade and handle assemblies are field-replaceable for extended tool life and reduced downtime. At 28-3/4" in length, the tool provides optimal leverage and control for demanding utility cable cutting applications. Not suitable for steel or ACSR cable applications.
