Westward 1YNB5 cable cutter shear cut 1-1/2in capacity

Cable cutter for electrical and data cable

The Westward 1YNB5 is a general-purpose cable cutter built for shear-cut action on electrical and data cables up to 1-3/8 in diameter. Its Cr-V steel jaws and 25-1/2 in overall length give the leverage needed for clean cuts in professional and maintenance work. The fiberglass handles with cushioned grips reduce hand fatigue during repeated use.

Shear-cut blades and cushioned fiberglass handles

The shear-cut blade geometry slices through cable without crushing the conductor, preserving signal integrity on data runs. Cushioned grips on the fiberglass handles absorb vibration and improve control when cutting at maximum capacity. The non-ratcheting design keeps the tool simple and reliable for straightforward cutting tasks.

1-3/8 in maximum data-cable diameter

This single limit decides whether the cutter fits the job; cables larger than 1-3/8 in will require a different tool. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers needing to cut thicker power cables or armoured sheathing should select a higher-capacity model.
