Magic or sorcery? Who knows?
How do these things work better than bigger loppers? I don’t know? Regardless it’s some kind of voodoo that works and you owe it to yourself as a proper electrician to try them out.The handles are SHOCKINGLY small, don’t angry poo when you hold them, they cut probably 10x easier than the next size larger Klein cable cutters. Like I said, I don’t know how but they just do. 1AWG copper, 12-3 MC, seems to be the sweet spot. They obviously cut larger but personally if it’s 1/0 copper or 12-6 / 10-3MC I usually just grab the big 24″ loppers or the battery loppers.For all the daily stuff that’s smaller than 1/0 copper or 12-4 mc these things are amazing and I gave my old Klein 63050 to an apprentice. These new ones cut WAY better than those slightly bigger older style ones.

Quality cut – Good Tool
You get old school Klein quality with this made in USA tool. Some of their stuff is getting cheap but these are clearly old school workhorses.The cutting edges come with a pronounced burr from factory that you will need to lightly file off with a very fine, very small file. (*You’re not sharpening them, they are very sharp already, you are just removing a hanging burr on both sides). I guess they go for max sharpness and expect the thin hanging burr to wear away with use. You also might want to oil them and work them in (just like their lineman’s etc) – I use light oil and moderate heat repeatedly opening & closing for about a minute and then wipe down.Though I prefer thin dipped handles for dexterity, I really like the feel of these very tough grips. I can tell they will last the life of the tool.Before I committed to purchase I looked at two videos comparing many brands, from econo to trade pro, and in each video the Klein J63225N came out the clear winner in both cut effort and user preference.I myself compared the Klien to a pair of compound leverage dykes on some #6 though #2 and it was no contest. The J63225N were smooth & easy in comparison. Don’t get me wrong, they still take effort of course but they are not a ‘struggle’.*Understand what you are buying here… they are compact cable / wire cutters, meaning you will often need to open the handles wider than you can grip them (for larger gauges) and then start the cut with ‘two’ hands and then finish with one hand, as handles come closer.And remember, like the laser etching on the tool says, these are NOT for steel… only soft copper and aluminum wire / cable and no ACSR (Aluminum Conductor ‘Steel’ Reinforced = usually found on overhead service drops).

Perfect for on site carry
Use them for construction site. They fit easy in your pocket without being bulky and cuts decent size wire

Nice little cutters
These are not a huge pair of cutters but I have been cutting through every wire and cable like butter. These blades are sharp and seem to be very durable. Can’t go wrong with the brand, it never disappoints. I will say though that about the biggest these things will cut is about a 0-0 gauge and that’s a stretch. But I’ve done it and they cut right through. If you get any bigger than that just get bigger cutters.

This thing is a beast
I had previously purchased a red handled tool from another manufacturer and was very disappointed in the offshore quality – the jaws nicked first time I cut 10/2 cable and did not close smoothly. Next I bought a set with light blue handles, and although made in the USA, were only marginally better than the first set, so I bought these. Wow, what a difference. They cut effortlessly though cable with a very clean cut. Not sure how they increased the leverage, but they work very well.

This thing just works
Great tool, I used it to cut 0 gauge solid wire and it went through it very easily. Tool is also holding up which is nice.

Almost perfect.
These are sturdy cutters that fit well in the hand our pouch. I cut 6-gauge wire easily with them and they are sharp enough to gently ring the jacket without too much force. The shape of the jaws prevent deformation of the wire making it easier to slide lugs on. I only gave them four stars because the joint is pretty stiff and a bit awkward to open one-handed. The jaws showed a little more hand-filing than I’m used to with Klein tools. Overall, the comparable Knipex is better, but these are far better than mauling your wire or cable with lineman’s pliers.

This cutter goes a long way to reducing carpal tunnel stress on my wrists when cutting larger cables and conductors. I wish I had purchased this tool long ago. I ordered the “journeyman” handles because my experience is that the “non-insulated” type breaks down relatively quickly in normal usage. I have a pair of Klein side cutters with the “non-insulated” handles that did exactly that. The “journeyman” handles of my cutter are robust and I expected many years of service from the tool.The cutter is a worthwhile addition to the electrician’s toolkit.

These will cut 25mm tails it is a squeeze but with one hand also. I like these better than the CK croppers but they are more expensive

Great cutters, wish they fell open but that’s my only complaint, very sharp and easy to cut big cable
