Irwin IR2078328 Cable Cutting Pliers 8 Inches

Product Description

The IRWIN IR2078328 is an 8-inch cable cutting plier designed for clean, controlled cuts through electrical cable and wire. Built for trade use, these pliers deliver the mechanical advantage needed to cut through multi-strand conductors without crushing or fraying. Electricians and low-voltage technicians reach for cable cutting pliers when standard diagonal cutters lack the jaw geometry or leverage for clean termination-ready cuts. At 8 inches in overall length, they fit comfortably in a tool pouch and handle a practical range of cable sizes encountered in residential and light commercial electrical work.

The IR2078328 suits electricians, low-voltage installers, and telecom technicians working with electrical cable, coaxial cable, and similar conductors. These pliers are a standard hand tool on rough-in and trim-out jobs alike, useful wherever cable needs to be cut to length before termination, pulling, or splicing. They are sold individually, making them a straightforward single-unit replacement or addition to a tool set.

Key Features

• 8-inch overall length provides balance between reach and control
• Cable cutting jaw geometry reduces fraying and deformation at the cut end
• Single-unit sale — no minimum multi-pack required
• Compact enough for tool pouch carry on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cable cutting plier suitable for electrical cable cutting tasks in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Cable cutting pliers are a hand tool installed by electricians and low-voltage technicians — no power-down of a system is required for the tool itself, though all relevant NEC lockout/tagout procedures must be followed before cutting any energized or potentially energized conductors. Inspect jaw alignment before use and avoid cutting materials beyond the tool's rated capacity to prevent jaw damage. Store in a dry location to preserve edge sharpness.
