Westward 10D460 Cable Cutter Shear Cut 3/8 in hand tool

Westward 10D460 cable cutter

The Westward 10D460 is a hand-operated cable cutter built for electricians and technicians who need to sever copper or aluminum electrical cable up to 3/8 inch diameter. Its shear-cut action produces a clean, straight cut without crushing the conductor. The tool suits maintenance crews and installers working on data and power circuits. It is not intended for cutting hardened steel, wire rope or cables larger than the rated capacity.

Shear-cut jaw with screw adjustment

The cutter head uses a standard shear profile finished in a matte surface that resists glare during alignment. A screw adjustment lets the user set blade clearance for consistent performance as the edges wear. Blue plastic handles carry a non-slip textured grip shaped for ergonomic comfort during repetitive cuts. The handles are dipped for insulation feel but the tool carries no insulated rating, so live-circuit work requires separate protective measures.

Check cable type and diameter before ordering

Verify that the cables you plan to cut are copper or aluminum electrical or data types no larger than 3/8 inch outer diameter. The tool cannot cut soft steel beyond the same 3/8 inch limit and is unsuitable for ACSR, guy strand or armoured cable. Confirm your workflow does not require an insulated rating, as this model provides none. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
