Unless your doing hundreds of cuts the s hook tool works fine.

Felco C-9 and C-7 are the ones you need.

Cool. I was gonna buy a pair too until I saw that pic. All I know is, if they aren’t rated for steel, they wont make very many nice cuts.
Guy at work used a set of Milwaukee cutter jaws for his press that were for copper/aluminum only to cut ACSR. 1 cut and they’re shot…lol. The ones for steel/copper/aluminum look the same, but they ain’t!

If they are for on the line use the mid grade ones at Fnt. If you’re only going to use them in the shop get the highest grade ones. They are really nice but not worth the rust or loosing them in the line.
Hit Wire Rope CuttersYou can probably find them cheaper at a trap supply dealer. These are the ones that Newt Sterling uses and sells. I got mine from Newt several years ago and they work very well and about 1/2 the cost of the Felco.

I second the C-7's they are the best cutters I own.

These work as well as the C7's by Felco and they are smaller and easier to carry in a pocket and you buy 2 pairs for the price of the C7's and still buy a gallon of gas with your change.

Watch Ebay, I got a used set of C7's on there for around 35-40 dollars been 5 or 6 years ago so cant remember exactly.
