Coaxial and data cable cutter

The Platinum Tools 10510C BTP-6 is a drop-forged hand tool built to cut coaxial and data cables cleanly. Its cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive trimming tasks on job sites or in the workshop. Installers and technicians who prepare cable runs daily will find the hardened blades hold an edge through heavy use. It is not suited for cutting armoured cable, steel wire or thick conduit.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a manual cutter the tool generates no heat, draws no electrical power and produces no operating noise beyond the snap of the blades. The forged steel construction absorbs cutting forces without deforming, so the user feels only the required hand pressure. There are no motors, fans or batteries to maintain, and the non-slip cushion grip stays secure even when hands are oily or wet.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Platinum Tools 10510C BTP-6 cutter for coaxial and data cable work?

Open the handles, position the cable in the jaw, then squeeze the cushion-grip handles until the drop-forged blades shear through; the step users miss is keeping the blades perpendicular to avoid crushing the dielectric.

What maintenance will the Platinum Tools 10510C BTP-6 cutter need over time?

Wipe the drop-forged blades after each use, apply light oil to the pivot occasionally, and replace the tool when the cutting edges no longer produce a clean cut on coaxial or data cables.
