Sk 181 Cable Cutter 5 Inch Wire Cutter Pliers

Product Description

The SK 181 is a compact cable cutter designed for cutting wire and cable in tight-access applications. Built with forged and heat-treated construction, this tool delivers maximum durability across repeated use in demanding trade environments. The knife-to-knife cutting edges provide clean, precise cuts on wire and cable, while the non-slip grip allows controlled handling during use. At 5 inches overall length, the 181 is well suited for work in confined spaces where a full-size cutter cannot reach. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers will find this tool practical for service calls and panel work alike.

The SK 181 cable cutter is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where wire and cable cutting is a routine task. Its compact 5-inch profile makes it a practical addition to a service technician's hand-tool kit, particularly when working inside electrical panels, junction boxes, control enclosures, or mechanical equipment cabinets. The tool ships individually and is intended for single-unit use.
