Ratcheting Cable Cutters---HS325

Was a little skeptical buying these at their price point compared to the name brand, but I am beyond impressed. They perform as well as any ratcheting cutter I’ve ever used. The compact size makes them fit perfectly into my backpack tool bag, so I always have cutters for large cable. Out of the box they were plenty sharp to cut any cable I’ve put it up against. The grip handle on them are a little lower quality rubber I feel could break down over time, but for the cost it’s to be expected. I’ve used them a few dozen times already and they have not failed me, dropped them in the mud and they seem to be as durable as they were out of the box. The cutters look exactly like the name brand and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the same manufacturer at the end of the day. Highly recommend these to any electrician looking to have some small ratcheting cutters that don’t break the bank.

Cut 4/0 ser al

They are super sharp straight out the box, i use them quite a lot as an electrician and im cutting thick pieces of copper regularly. i’ve had no issues with any breaking or chipping while using them. I highly recommend these cutters

I tried it out with 600 kcmil aluminum cable and it works… not easily but it works.

Delivered on time at a good price. Seems to be very robust.

Perfect tool! I have a heavy gauge generator cable I needed to cut the end off. This tool worked perfectly. It was sharp and it ratchets til the cable is completed cut. If you have a heavy gauge cable to cut this is the tool for you. I absolutely recommend it.

Great tool. Recommend it. Easy to use

The Yangoutool Ratchet Cable Wire Cutter has been returned. I am providing them with a "gift-with-return" : a bike lock. The reason is that the allegedly "quick" release lever does not work. The jaws/blades are permanently jammed around the rubbery exterior of the bike lock cable. The only way I was able to remove the bike lock was because I literally twisted the cables (with my bare hands) until the lock portion snapped away from the cable portion ...the rachet cable cutter had nothing to do with this amazing feat. All rachet cable cutters are not created equal. The better ones have a distinct thumb lever on the side of the tool so the user can easily open the cutting jaws. Opening this tool (even before I tried to cut the bike lock), was very tricky since it did not open freely. I noticed that there was chipped paint on this particular tool upon opening so it is possible that it was a damaged/returned item but even if it was, it should still open. The tool is too glitchy and can not be relied on.

Worked great, used them on 8-4 cord a lot and they are just as sharp as when I bought them, over a year of use already

These are an awesome alternative if you don’t want to spend the big money on a similar set. I’ve been using them almost everyday now for the past few months and have had 0 issues. I mostly use them on 4/0 copper and aluminum cable and these cut through like butter. Just keep the tool greased up and they’ll serve you good. Can’t cut ACSR but I wouldn’t expect that out of a $45 tool. Great value for money

I’m an electrician and have been for around 15 years. I got this a month ago because I figured it’s only $40. If it works great, if not, no big deal I must say I’m pleasantly surprised and very happy with it. I’ve used it a lot and it cuts copper very easy and hasn’t damaged the cutter. I’ve done a demo job with lots of tech cable and it’s crews thru that like butter I would highly recommend this to anyone else in the trade

Fell apart after just a few uses. Only had 1 month return window so now I am stuck with garbage.
