Wiha 10250 Insulated Wire Rope Cable Cutter 6 in 10AWG

Product Description

The WIHA 10250 is an insulated wire rope cable cutter designed for cutting and stripping wire rope and cable in electrical trade applications. Built to a 6-inch overall length, it handles conductors up to 10 AWG and carries double-covered insulation rated to 1000 volts. The insulation conforms to EN/IEC, ASTM, NFPA 70E, and CSA standards, making it appropriate for use in live-voltage environments where arc flash and shock hazard protocols apply. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary users. The red and yellow handles feature a slip guard and ridged gripping surface for controlled cuts in tight panel and junction box spaces.

The 10250 is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where wire rope or stranded cable cutting and stripping tasks arise during installation or maintenance. Its compact 6-inch form factor fits in a tool pouch and works well in confined spaces such as electrical panels, conduit terminations, and wire management trays. The 10 AWG maximum cutting capacity covers the most common branch-circuit conductor gauges encountered in field work.

Key Features

• Double-covered insulation rated to 1000 volts per EN/IEC, ASTM, NFPA 70E, and CSA standards
• Maximum cutting capacity of 10 AWG wire rope or cable
• 6-inch overall length for use in confined spaces
• Handle slip guard and ridged gripping surface for controlled cutting force
• Red and yellow handle color coding for quick tool identification

Compatibility

Designed for general electrical trade use as a wire rope and cable cutter for conductors up to 10 AWG in applications requiring 1000-volt-rated insulated tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified electrician following applicable NEC and NFPA 70E safe work practices. Always verify the circuit is de-energized and locked out before making cuts unless operating under an energized electrical work permit. Insulated tool ratings do not replace proper PPE requirements for energized work. Inspect the insulation for cuts, cracks, or damage before each use and remove the tool from service if the insulation is compromised.
