6 Ton Hard Metal Cable Cutting Tool
Greenlee EK425LXR 6 Ton Hard Metal Remote Cutter – Bare Tool
The Greenlee GATOR EK425LXR 6 Ton Hard Metal Remote Cutter is a professional remote-operated cutting tool designed for demanding utility and electrical applications. It is engineered for cutting hard-metal wire, including specified ACSR and guy-wire applications, while allowing the operator to control the tool remotely.
The EK425LXR uses a hardened-steel cutting head and a powerful hydraulic system to deliver high cutting force in a compact, field-oriented design. Its remote configuration is particularly useful when the operator needs to maintain distance from the cutting point or work in locations where direct access is difficult.
This bare-tool configuration is intended for users who already have the required compatible remote-control and power equipment.
Key Features
6-ton class cutting system — Designed for demanding professional wire-cutting applications.
Remote operation — Allows the cutter to be operated through a compatible Greenlee remote control.
Hard-metal cutting edge — Designed for specified hard-metal wire applications.
Hardened-steel jaws — Provides durable cutting surfaces for demanding materials.
32 mm jaw size — Provides clearance for the specified cutting applications.
350° rotating cutting head — Allows the head to be positioned around the work area.
In-line handle design — Features an overmolded grip for controlled handling.
Black-oxide finish — Provides a durable exterior finish.
Universal remote-control compatibility — Greenlee's BTC3GL universal remote control can be used with Greenlee remote crimpers and cutters.
Hot-stick compatible interface — The BTC3-TJ hot-stick adapter uses a standard universal spline interface.
Biodegradable hydraulic oil — Greenlee specifies biodegradable oil for the tool.
Designed for Hard-Metal Wire
The EK425LXR is specifically configured as a remote scissor cutter with a hard-metal cutting edge. Greenlee lists the hard-metal versions for applications including:
477 kcmil Pelican ACSR
5/16 in. EHS guy wire
3/8 in. standard guy wire
These capacities are specific to the hard-metal cutting configuration and should not be confused with the capacities of Greenlee's soft-metal versions.
Remote Operation
The remote configuration provides an important advantage for utility and electrical work. Instead of requiring the operator to remain directly at the cutter's control point, the tool can be operated using Greenlee's compatible remote-control system.
Greenlee identifies the BTC3GL universal remote control as compatible with its remote crimpers and cutters. A BTC3-TJ hot-stick adapter is also available for applications requiring a standard universal spline interface.
This configuration can be useful when access to the cutting location is limited or when additional operator separation is required by the work procedure.
350° Rotating Cutting Head
The cutting head rotates through 350 degrees, giving the operator considerable flexibility when positioning the cutter around a conductor.
This feature is useful when working around utility structures, installed conductors, or other obstacles where a fixed cutting-head orientation would make positioning more difficult.
Hardened-Steel Cutting Jaws
Greenlee specifies hardened steel for the jaw material. The cutting edge is designed for hard-metal applications, providing the durability required for the specified ACSR and guy-wire cutting tasks.
Using the correct cutting head and approved material combination is important for maintaining proper tool performance and preventing damage.
In-Line Ergonomic Handle
The tool uses an in-line handle with an overmolded grip. This configuration provides a straightforward way to position and stabilize the cutter during setup.
The in-line format also complements the remote cutting configuration, giving the tool a practical shape for professional utility work.
Bare-Tool Configuration
This product is specified as a bare tool, so it is intended for customers who already have the compatible equipment required to operate the remote cutter.

Professional Applications
The EK425LXR is designed for demanding professional environments, including:
Electrical utility work
Overhead power-line maintenance
ACSR cutting
Guy-wire cutting
Utility construction
Field maintenance
Electrical infrastructure work
Remote cutting applications
Its remote capability makes it especially useful when the cutting operation needs to be controlled from a position away from the cutter.
Important Material Compatibility
The 6-ton rating does not mean the tool can cut every metal wire of a given diameter. Greenlee specifies particular materials and sizes for the hard-metal cutting versions.
For example, the published hard-metal range includes 477 kcmil Pelican ACSR, 5/16-inch EHS guy wire, and 3/8-inch standard guy wire. Always verify the exact conductor or wire type against Greenlee's current specifications before cutting.
Do not substitute capacities from Greenlee's soft-metal versions, which are designed for different materials such as copper and aluminum cable.
Safety Considerations
The EK425LXR is a high-force professional cutting tool. Operators should follow Greenlee's instructions and the applicable utility or electrical safety procedures before use.
Before cutting, verify the material and its condition and ensure that the work area is safe. Keep personnel clear of the cutting zone and account for possible movement or stored energy in tensioned wire.
Use only the cutter configuration and accessories approved for the intended application.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect the cutting jaws, hydraulic system, handle, and remote-control connections for signs of wear or damage.
The cutting jaws should be kept clean and inspected for damage that could affect cutting performance. Hydraulic components should be maintained according to Greenlee's service instructions.
Greenlee specifies the use of biodegradable oil in this remote-tool family.
Why Choose the Greenlee EK425LXR?
The Greenlee GATOR EK425LXR 6 Ton Hard Metal Remote Cutter combines a remote operating system, hardened-steel cutting jaws, 350° head rotation, and professional hard-metal cutting capability in a field-oriented tool.
With a published capacity of 477 kcmil Pelican ACSR, 5/16-inch EHS guy wire, and 3/8-inch standard guy wire, it is designed specifically for demanding utility and electrical applications rather than general-purpose cable cutting.
The bare-tool format is a practical choice for professional crews that already have the compatible Greenlee remote-control and power equipment and need a dedicated hard-metal cutting head for utility work.
