The Impact type wire rope cutters are the original portable tools to cut wire rope. The cutters are actuated by striking with a hammer, they are easy to operate and do a superior cutting job with only a few blows of a hammer. These cutters are precision engineered to deliver a cut without affecting the original roundness of the wire rope. The blades and dies are made of the finest tool steel available, heat treated and ground to close tolerances. The impact style cutters are available in three sizes and cutting capacities. The Model 101 has a 3/4" capacity, the Model 121 a 1-1/16" capacity and the Model 131 has a 1-1/2" capacity.
