Sk 15016 Cable Cutter 6 Inches Oal Wire Cutter Pliers

Product Description

The SK 15016 is a 6-inch overall length cable cutter designed for cutting wire and cable in electrical, HVAC, and general trade applications. Built from forged and heat-treated steel, this cutter delivers consistent cutting force through a knife-to-knife edge geometry that shears cleanly without crushing or fraying the conductor. The non-slip grip provides control during repetitive cuts or when working in tight panel spaces. At 0.4 pounds, it is light enough for all-day carry on a tool belt. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers will find this cutter well suited for service and installation work where a compact, durable hand tool is needed.

The SK 15016 is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work. Typical applications include cutting control wiring, low-voltage thermostat cable, copper conductors, and similar soft-metal wire. Its compact 6-inch form factor makes it practical for working inside electrical panels, junction boxes, air handlers, and equipment cabinets where a full-size cutter would be awkward to maneuver. It is sold individually and suits tool kits maintained by electricians, HVAC service technicians, and plumbers who need a dedicated wire-cutting hand tool separate from multi-function pliers.

Key Features

• Forged and heat-treated construction for long-term durability under repeated use
• Knife-to-knife cutting edges for clean shearing cuts without conductor deformation
• Non-slip grip reduces fatigue and improves control during repetitive cutting tasks
• Compact 6-inch overall length fits inside panels, boxes, and equipment enclosures
• Lightweight at 0.4 pounds for comfortable all-day carry

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cable and wire cutter suitable for low-voltage control wiring, copper conductors, and similar soft-metal cable found in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service applications.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before cutting any wire or cable in an electrical panel or equipment enclosure, in accordance with NFPA 70E safe work practices. This tool is intended for manual hand use only and should not be struck with a mallet or used as a pry bar. Inspect cutting edges before each use and keep clean to maintain cutting performance.
