FELCO

FELCO is a Swiss manufacturer of manual cutting tools, headquartered in Les Geneveys-sur-Coffrane, Switzerland. The company was founded in 1945 and is known for its pruning shears and cable cutters. FELCO products are distributed globally and are used in horticulture, agriculture, and industrial applications. The cable cutter line includes shear-type models designed for cutting aluminum and copper electrical cables. These tools are manually operated and feature either plastic or aluminum handles. The cutters are available in several sizes to accommodate different cable diameters, ranging from 1/8 inch to 5/8 inch. The shear cutting action is intended to provide clean cuts without deformation of the cable. FELCO cable cutters are used in electrical and data cable installation, maintenance, and repair tasks. They are suitable for industrial, commercial, and utility settings. The tools are manufactured to FELCO's specifications, with a focus on durability and ergonomic design. 3G Electric supplies FELCO cable cutters as part of its industrial equipment portfolio. The product range includes multiple SKUs covering various cable diameter capacities. 3G Electric provides datasheets, specification comparisons, and logistics support for these products. The company serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require reliable cutting tools for electrical work. FELCO cable cutters are available for global shipping through 3G Electric's distribution network. The tools are typically used in applications where precise, manual cutting of cables is required, such as in control panels, wiring harnesses, and power distribution systems. The shear-type design is intended to minimize cable distortion, which can be important for maintaining electrical integrity. FELCO's manufacturing standards ensure that each tool meets consistent quality criteria. The handles are designed for comfort and grip during repeated use. The cutting blades are made from hardened steel to maintain sharpness over time. 3G Electric offers technical support to help buyers select the appropriate model based on cable diameter and handle preference. The product line includes models with maximum cutting capacities of 1/8 inch (C3), 5/32 inch (C7), 1/4 inch (C9), 3/8 inch (C12), and 5/8 inch (C16). Each model is identified by a manufacturer part number and is available with either a plastic or aluminum handle, depending on the model. The C3 model features a plastic handle, while the C7, C9, C12, and C16 models have aluminum handles. The overall length of the C7 model is 7 1/2 inches. These tools are intended for cutting aluminum electric cable, but may also be suitable for copper cables of similar diameters, depending on the application. Users should always verify the compatibility of the tool with the specific cable type and size. FELCO cable cutters are not intended for cutting steel or other hard materials. Proper use and maintenance will extend the life of the tool. 3G Electric can provide additional information on specifications and availability upon request.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about FELCO from 3G Electric.

What is the maximum cable diameter that FELCO cable cutters can handle?

FELCO cable cutters are available in several models with different maximum cutting capacities. The smallest model, C3, cuts aluminum electric cable up to 1/8 inch in diameter. The C7 model handles up to 5/32 inch, the C9 up to 1/4 inch, the C12 up to 3/8 inch, and the C16 up to 5/8 inch. These capacities refer to aluminum electric cable. For other cable types, consult the manufacturer's specifications. Always select a cutter with a capacity equal to or greater than the cable diameter you intend to cut.

What is the difference between the FELCO C9 and C12 cable cutters?

The primary difference between the FELCO C9 and C12 cable cutters is their maximum cutting capacity. The C9 is designed for aluminum electric cable up to 1/4 inch in diameter, while the C12 handles up to 3/8 inch. Both models feature an aluminum handle and a shear-type cutting action. The overall length may differ slightly, but both are intended for similar applications in electrical and data cable installation. Choose based on the maximum cable diameter you need to cut. The C12 can cut larger cables but may be slightly heavier or longer.

Are FELCO cable cutters suitable for cutting copper cable?

FELCO cable cutters are specifically designed for cutting aluminum electric cable, as indicated in the product specifications. However, they may also be used on copper cables of similar diameters, provided the copper is not too hard. Copper is generally softer than aluminum, so cutting copper should be within the tool's capability. Always verify that the cable diameter does not exceed the cutter's maximum capacity. For optimal performance and to avoid damage, use the cutter only on the materials it is intended for. If in doubt, test on a sample piece first.

What handle materials are available for FELCO cable cutters?

FELCO cable cutters are available with either plastic or aluminum handles, depending on the model. The C3 model features a plastic handle, while the C7, C9, C12, and C16 models have aluminum handles. Aluminum handles are generally more durable and provide a different grip feel compared to plastic. The choice between plastic and aluminum may depend on user preference, weight considerations, or the working environment. Both handle types are designed for comfortable use during repetitive cutting tasks. For specific handle material of each model, refer to the product datasheet.

Can I use FELCO cable cutters on live electrical cables?

FELCO cable cutters are manual cutting tools and are not rated for live electrical work. They do not carry any insulation or voltage rating. Never use them on energized cables. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before cutting any electrical cable. For work on live circuits, use tools specifically designed and rated for that purpose, such as insulated cable cutters with appropriate voltage ratings. Safety should be the primary consideration. Consult your company's safety procedures and applicable electrical codes.
