✂️ Cuts Cable Up to 240mm²

The Razorback DC Ratchet Cable Cutter is designed to handle copper and aluminum electrical cable up to 240mm², depending on the construction and hardness of the cable being cut.

This makes it suitable for a broad range of heavy electrical conductors, including:

• Battery cable
• Inverter cable
• Welding-style power cable
• Automotive power cable
• Solar battery cable
• Earth cable
• Auxiliary battery cable
• DC power distribution cable

Consequently, one cutter can cover everything from common automotive battery cable through to much larger electrical conductors.

⚙️ Ratcheting Cutting Mechanism

Large electrical cable can be difficult to cut cleanly with standard hand cutters.

Instead of attempting to cut the cable in one movement, the ratcheting mechanism closes the blades progressively as the handles are operated.

Therefore, each movement advances the cutting jaws further through the conductor.

This helps provide:

• Reduced hand effort
• Better cutting control
• Cleaner cable ends
• Easier cutting of large conductors
• More consistent results

🔋 Ideal for Battery Cable

Battery cable is made from a large number of copper strands and can be difficult to cut cleanly using conventional pliers or side cutters.

The Razorback Ratchet Cable Cutter is ideal for preparing heavy battery cable before fitting:

• Copper cable lugs
• Battery terminals
• Anderson connectors
• Fuse holders
• Bus bars
• Battery isolators
• Inverters
• DC-DC chargers

A clean, square cable cut also makes inserting the conductor into a cable lug significantly easier.

🇦🇺 Perfect for Your TYCAB Battery Cable

This cutter is an excellent workshop companion for the Razorback DC range of Australian-made TYCAB battery cables.

It can be used when working with common cable sizes such as:

• 6 B&S battery cable
• 4 B&S battery cable
• 2 B&S battery cable
• 00 B&S battery cable
• Larger compatible copper cable

For example, your Razorback 00 B&S cable is 64.15mm², which is well below the cutter's stated maximum 240mm² cutting capacity.

⚡ Great for Inverter Installations

Large inverters require substantial battery cabling to safely carry high DC current.

Therefore, a suitable cable cutter becomes especially useful when assembling custom inverter leads.

Use it when preparing cables for:

• Battery-to-inverter connections
• Battery-to-fuse connections
• Bus bar-to-inverter wiring
• Parallel battery banks
• High-current DC distribution

After cutting, the cable can be stripped, fitted with the correct copper lug and crimped using an appropriate cable-lug crimping tool.

🚙 4WD & Dual-Battery Wiring

The Heavy Duty Ratchet Cable Cutter is ideal for building or modifying 4WD electrical systems.

Suitable projects include:

• Auxiliary battery installations
• DC-DC charger systems
• Inverter wiring
• Anderson power circuits
• Canopy electrical systems
• Battery linking cables
• Fuse and bus bar wiring
• Earth cables

Furthermore, its broad cable capacity means one tool can cover many different conductor sizes throughout a complete vehicle electrical installation.

🏕️ Caravan & Camper Electrical Work

Caravan and camper systems increasingly use large battery cables due to higher-capacity lithium batteries, inverters and charging systems.

Typical uses include cutting cable for:

• Lithium battery banks
• Inverters
• Solar controllers
• DC-DC chargers
• Battery chargers
• Bus bars
• Fuse systems
• Battery interconnect cables

As a result, this cutter is a useful addition to both professional workshops and DIY electrical tool kits.

☀️ Solar & Off-Grid Installations

Large battery and inverter cables are also common in solar and off-grid energy systems.

The Razorback Ratchet Cable Cutter is useful for preparing conductors connecting:

• Battery banks
• Inverters
• MPPT controllers
• Bus bars
• Battery isolators
• Fuse holders
• DC distribution systems

Always select the correct cable size according to the electrical requirements of the system.

🔩 Cleaner Cuts for Cable Lug Installation

A damaged or badly crushed cable end can make cable-lug installation more difficult.

By comparison, a clean cut helps the copper strands remain together and makes it easier to insert the conductor fully into the lug barrel.

The normal termination process is:

1. Cut the cable cleanly.
2. Strip the correct amount of insulation.
3. Insert the conductor fully into the cable lug.
4. Crimp using a suitable heavy-duty lug crimper.
5. Inspect the crimp.
6. Finish with adhesive-lined heat shrink where required.

Therefore, a quality cutter is an important first step in creating a professional cable termination.

🛠️ Ideal Workshop Tool

The Razorback Cable Cutter is suitable for a wide range of users, including:

• Auto electricians
• Electricians
• 4WD installers
• Caravan builders
• Solar installers
• Marine technicians
• Automotive workshops
• DIY electrical installers

Because of its high cutting capacity, it can replace several smaller cutters when working across different cable sizes.

⚠️ Designed for Copper & Aluminum Electrical Cable

This tool is intended for cutting copper and aluminum electrical conductors.

Do not use it to cut materials such as:

• Steel cable
• Wire rope
• Hardened wire
• Bolts
• Nails
• Armored cable
• Steel-reinforced conductors

unless the tool is specifically rated for those materials.

Cutting inappropriate materials may damage the blades or ratchet mechanism.

⚠️ Never Cut Live Cable

Always ensure electrical cable is completely disconnected and de-energized before cutting.

Never use the cutter on live electrical wiring.

For vehicle and battery installations, disconnect the relevant power source before commencing work.

🧰 How to Use

For best results:

1. Confirm the cable is disconnected from power.
2. Open the cutting jaws.
3. Position the cable squarely between the blades.
4. Operate the handles to engage the ratchet mechanism.
5. Continue ratcheting until the cable is completely cut.
6. Inspect the cable end before stripping and termination.

Keep fingers and loose material away from the cutting jaws during operation.
