Klein Tools 53725 Bx Armored Cable Cutter

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 53725 is a dedicated BX armored cable cutter designed to cut through 3/8 inch flexible conduit and 10, 12, and 14 AWG armored cables cleanly and efficiently. The tool operates with just a few turns of the handle, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive cuts on the job. A built-in blade storage compartment inside the handle keeps spare blades accessible without requiring a separate trip to the toolbox. This cutter is a standard hand tool for licensed electricians working residential or commercial wiring jobs that involve armored cable or flexible conduit runs.

The 53725 is suited for electrical rough-in and retrofit work where BX or AC-type armored cable is the wiring method of choice. It handles flexible conduit at 3/8 inch diameter and armored cables in the most common branch-circuit sizes: 10, 12, and 14 AWG. The rotary cutting action keeps the cable jacket from deforming during the cut, leaving a clean end for connector installation. Electricians running multiple circuits in a single work session will find the onboard blade storage a practical time-saver.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed electricians and qualified electrical trade professionals. De-energize and lock out all circuits before cutting or handling armored cable on an active installation. Inspect the blade for wear before each use and replace with the specified replacement blade when cutting quality degrades. Follow all applicable NEC requirements for armored cable installations, including proper connector and fitting use after the cut is made.
