Jonard RC-600 12" Ratchet Cable Cutter

The Jonard RC-600 is a 12-inch ratchet cable cutter built for centre-cut action on electrical and data cables. Heat-treated carbon steel blades with induction-hardened edges handle conductors up to 1 3/4 inches thick. A spring-loaded mechanism opens the handles automatically after each cut, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work. The ergonomic design helps users grip and sever cables quickly on site.

Electrical and data installers cutting

This tool suits electricians and low-voltage technicians who need clean, centred cuts on thick electrical or data cables up to the stated diameter. It is not for users who require a rated capacity for ACSR conductors, as the cutter carries no such rating. Buyers needing to cut steel wire, wire rope or hardened materials should select a different cutter type.

12-inch centre-cut ratchet mechanism

The defining specification is the 12-inch centre-cut ratchet mechanism, which multiplies hand force to slice through cables up to 1 3/4 inches in a single, controlled stroke. This configuration determines whether the cutter matches the cable sizes and cut quality the job demands.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum cable diameter the 12" ratchet cutter can handle?

The cutter is rated for electrical or data cable up to 1 3/4 in diameter.

How does the spring-loaded mechanism affect the cutting motion?

The handles open automatically after each cut, letting you reposition the cable quickly for the next ratchet stroke.

Will the induction-hardened edges need professional sharpening?

The heat-treated carbon steel edges are designed for long life; if they dull, they can be touched up with a fine file following the original bevel.
