Jonard JIC-63050 High Leverage Cable Cutter, 9''
The Jonard JIC-63050 is a 9" high-leverage cable cutter built from chrome vanadium steel with induction-hardened cutting edges, designed for cutting aluminum, copper, and 100-pair 24 AWG cable in demanding construction and maintenance environments. The high-leverage pivot geometry multiplies cutting force at the shear-type jaw, delivering the cutting capacity needed for 2/0 copper, 4/0 aluminum, and 100-pair cable counts that standard-leverage cutters cannot handle.
The shear-type jaw slices cleanly through soft metals rather than crushing the conductor cross-section — producing cleaner cut ends on multi-pair cable where conductor geometry matters at termination. Jaws open to 13/16" (20.64mm), accommodating the full rated conductor and cable range. Jaw length: 1-3/8" (34.93mm), jaw thickness: 1/2" (12.70mm). Weight: 0.99 lb (447.644g). Backed by Jonard Tools' Made for Life® guaranteed-for-life warranty.
Warning: Not for use on steel or ACSR type cable.
Jonard JIC-63050 High Leverage Cable Cutter, 9"
Chrome Vanadium Steel High-Leverage Cable Cutter for Aluminum, Copper, and 100-Pair 24 AWG CableThe JIC-63050 is built around two engineering decisions that define its cutting capability — high-leverage pivot geometry and a shear-type jaw — and understanding how these two features work together explains why this tool handles conductor sizes and cable counts that a standard cable cutter of the same overall length cannot match.
High-leverage design repositions the pivot point to multiply the mechanical force applied at the handle into concentrated cutting force at the jaw. The result is that a technician can cut through 2/0 copper, 4/0 aluminum, and 100-pair 24 AWG cable with meaningfully less hand effort than a standard-leverage tool of equivalent size demands. For work environments where cable cutting is a repeated daily task rather than an occasional one, this force reduction directly affects how a technician's hand and wrist hold up over the course of a shift.
The shear-type jaw works differently from the compression jaw found on most diagonal and standard cable cutters. A compression jaw closes both blades against the conductor simultaneously, deforming the cross-section as it cuts. A shear-type jaw uses a scissor-like action — one blade passes the other — slicing through the material rather than compressing it. On single conductors the difference is cosmetic. On 100-pair cable where the cut end will be dressed and terminated at a punch block or terminal strip, a clean shear cut produces a neater cable end that separates more cleanly into individual pairs during termination prep.
Key Benefits at a Glance:
- High-leverage pivot geometry — cuts 2/0 copper, 4/0 aluminum, and 100-pair 24 AWG cable with significantly less hand force than standard-leverage cutters of equivalent size
- Shear-type jaw action — slices rather than compresses, producing cleaner cut faces on multi-pair cable ends
- 13/16" (20.64mm) jaw opening accommodates the full rated 2/0 copper, 4/0 aluminum, and 100-pair 24 AWG cable capacity
- Chrome vanadium steel construction with induction-hardened cutting edges for long service life under daily field use
- Made for Life® — guaranteed for life by Jonard Tools
- Not for use on steel or ACSR type cable
Why Choose the Jonard JIC-63050?
High Leverage. Shear Cut. Rated Capacity You Can Trust.
The JIC-63050 is a purpose-built cable cutter with a confirmed capacity rating — 2/0 copper, 4/0 aluminum, and 100-pair 24 AWG cable — and the engineering to back that rating in daily field use.- High-leverage pivot design — fulcrum geometry maximizes mechanical advantage at the jaw, enabling clean cuts through the full rated conductor and cable capacity range with reduced hand effort
- Shear-type jaw — scissor-like cutting action slices through aluminum and soft copper rather than compressing, preserving conductor geometry and producing cleaner cut ends on multi-pair cable
- Induction-hardened cutting edges — localized surface hardening at the blade face maintains sharpness and cutting performance across the service life of the tool
- Chrome vanadium steel body — heat-treated for maximum strength and durability throughout the tool body
- Ergonomic dipped plastic cushion grip — handle contour and grip material absorb cutting shock and improve hand control during heavy cable cutting tasks
- 13/16" (20.64mm) jaw opening — sized to accommodate 2/0 copper, 4/0 aluminum, and 100-pair 24 AWG cable within the rated capacity
- 9" overall length — provides the handle travel needed to generate meaningful leverage on rated conductor and cable sizes
Important Use Limitation
The JIC-63050 shear-type jaw is designed for aluminum and soft copper only. This tool must not be used on steel cable, ACSR (aluminum conductor steel reinforced), or any steel-core conductor. Use on steel or ACSR type cable will damage the tool and may result in injury.Specifications
