Frequently Asked Questions
What types and sizes of wire or cable can FELCO® cutters cut?
FELCO® cutters are designed for clean, precise cutting of wire rope, steel cable, and other wire products. Cutting capacity varies by model, with options available for smaller-diameter cable as well as heavier-duty applications.
Which FELCO® cable cutter is right for my application?
The right FELCO® cutter depends primarily on the cable diameter, material, and how frequently the tool will be used. Smaller handheld models are ideal for lighter cutting needs, while larger two-handed and bench-mounted models provide additional leverage for larger cable diameters and repetitive cutting.
What is the difference between handheld FELCO® cutters and bench-mounted models?
Handheld FELCO® cutters offer portability and flexibility for field or shop use. Bench-mounted models such as the C16B provide a stable cutting platform and additional leverage, making them well suited for frequent production cutting or applications where consistent, repeatable cuts are required.
