Popular Stanley Products

Stanley's cable cutter range includes various configurations to suit different applications. Their compound action cutters multiply cutting force for easier operation on thicker cables, whilst ratchet mechanism models allow you to cut large diameter cables in stages with less effort. For everyday electrical work, Stanley's standard diagonal cutters offer reliable performance on cables up to 10mm diameter. Many models feature high-visibility handles for easy location in toolboxes, and some incorporate cable stripping notches for added versatility on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cables can Stanley cable cutters handle?

Stanley cable cutters are available in various capacities, with standard models typically cutting cables up to 10-15mm diameter, whilst heavy-duty ratchet versions can handle cables up to 32mm or larger. Always check the specific model's capacity rating before use.

Are Stanley cable cutters suitable for armoured cable?

Whilst standard Stanley cable cutters excel with copper and aluminium conductors, armoured cable requires specialist cutters with reinforced jaws. Check individual product specifications to ensure compatibility with steel wire armour (SWA) cables.

How do I maintain my Stanley cable cutters?

Keep cutting edges clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion. Avoid cutting materials harder than the rated capacity, which can damage or dull the blades. Store in a dry environment and periodically check pivot points for smooth operation.
