Klein Tools Heavy-Duty Ratcheting Cutter
Product Overview
The Klein Tools Heavy-Duty Ratcheting Cutter (Cat. No. 63700) is a high-leverage cable cutting tool designed for demanding utility and electrical applications. Its ratchet-action mechanism provides increased mechanical advantage, helping users cut large cables and steel materials with less effort than a conventional cutter.
The cutter uses forged, heat-treated shear-type blades and long steel handles fitted with heavy-duty vinyl grips. A blade-advance knob helps quickly position the cutting blade around the material, while the quick-release mechanism allows the cable or rod to be removed before the cut is complete when necessary.
Key Features
High-leverage ratchet mechanism: Provides substantial mechanical advantage for heavy-duty cutting applications.
Forged, heat-treated blades: Shear-type blades are designed for cutting steel and ACSR materials.
Blade-advance knob: Quickly rotates the blade to engage the cable or material being cut.
Quick-release mechanism: Allows the material to be removed before completing a cut when required.
Long handles: The 28-inch overall tool length provides leverage for demanding cutting jobs.
Comfortable grips: Heavy vinyl handle grips provide a more secure, slip-resistant hold.
Professional utility design: Suitable for demanding cable and wire-cutting applications.
Yellow handle finish: Provides easy visibility in a busy tool bag or work environment.

Designed for Efficient Cutting
The ratcheting action is the main advantage of this cutter. Rather than relying entirely on direct hand force, the mechanism progressively advances the blade through the material. This makes the tool particularly useful when working with larger-diameter cable and steel materials.
The blade-advance knob further simplifies setup by allowing the cutting blade to be rotated quickly into position before applying the ratcheting action.
Comfortable, Secure Handling
The cutter features long steel handles with heavy vinyl grips. The extended handles provide leverage, while the grip material is designed to improve comfort and reduce slipping during use.
Important Usage Information
The 63700 is not designed for cutting EHS guy strand or reinforcement rod. Users should select the cutter based on the specific material and diameter being cut.
Klein Tools also states that this tool is not insulated. The plastic or vinyl-covered handles are not intended to provide protection from electric shock. Approved eye protection should always be worn when operating the cutter.
Ideal Applications
The Klein Tools Heavy-Duty Ratcheting Cutter is well suited for:
Utility and telecommunications work
Electrical cable installation and maintenance
ACSR and ACAR cable cutting
Steel wire rope applications
Guy strand cutting within specified capacity
Copper and aluminum cable preparation
Professional construction and maintenance work
Summary
The Klein Tools Heavy-Duty Ratcheting Cutter 63700 is built for professionals who need substantial cutting capacity and mechanical leverage. With forged heat-treated blades, a ratchet-action mechanism, 28-inch handles, quick-release functionality, and capacities up to 2-1/4 inches for soft cable, it provides a robust solution for demanding cable and steel-cutting tasks.
