Klein Tools 63028 Coaxial Cable Cutter electrician tool

Coaxial Cable Cutter Design

The Klein Tools 63028 is a dedicated coaxial cable cutter built for electricians and installers who need clean, repeatable cuts on copper cable. Its shear-cut action produces a squared end without crushing the conductor, which helps maintain signal integrity on every termination. A hot-riveted joint keeps the blades aligned without any field adjustment, so the tool stays precise from the first cut to the last. Plastic-coated grips reduce hand fatigue during long pulls and repetitive trimming tasks.

Installers Who Need Shear-Cut Precision

This cutter suits professionals who work with coaxial cable up to the stated copper capacity and want a single-purpose tool that does not require blade tuning on site. It is not intended for cutting hardened wire, steel armour, or large-diameter power cable beyond the rated limit. Buyers who need a multi-purpose snip for mixed materials or a ratcheting mechanism for heavier gauge conductors should look at a different tool class.

Hot-Riveted Joint Eliminates Adjustment

The defining specification is the hot-riveted design that maintains smooth, precise operation without any user adjustment over the life of the tool. This fixed pivot keeps blade alignment constant, delivering consistent shear cuts on coaxial cable without the downtime of re-tensioning screws or replacing worn bushings.
