FELCO C108 - Two-Hand Wire and Cable Cutter - Steel Cable up to 12.7mm

FELCO C108 Two-Hand Wire and Cable Cutter - Steel Cable up to 12.7mm

The FELCO C108 is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade cutter specifically engineered for the high-tension demands of the utility and construction sectors. Designed for two-handed operation, it features long, reinforced handles that provide the massive leverage necessary to shear through 12.7mm (1/2 inch) steel cable. This model is built around FELCO’s legendary triangular cutting system, which wraps the cable and shears it from the outside in. This process prevents the cable from crushing or splaying, ensuring a clean, factory-quality finish that allows for immediate terminal insertion or swaging without the need for filing or grinding. Robust and reliable, the C108 is a essential tool for heavy rigging and infrastructure maintenance.

Best For Utilities workers, industrial riggers, and contractors who need a powerful, high-leverage tool for cutting heavy steel wire rope, guy wires, and high-tensile cables.

Key Features

• Precision Triangular Cut: The signature triangular cutting technology progressively compresses the wire to prevent splaying, keeping the cable perfectly round and intact for a professional finish.

• Extreme Mechanical Advantage: The extended high-leverage handles are designed to multiply the user’s strength, allowing for smooth and controlled cuts through 12.7mm steel cable with reduced physical strain.

• Premium Hardened Steel: The cutting head is crafted from high-quality induction-hardened steel, specifically tempered to maintain a sharp edge even when cutting through high-tensile spring wire.

• Forged Aluminum Alloy Handles: Features unbreakable forged handles that are both lightweight and incredibly strong, finished with a non-slip, ergonomic coating for a secure grip in all weather conditions.

• Adjustable and Maintainable: Built for a lifetime of service, the C108 allows for micrometric blade adjustment and features fully replaceable parts, from the blades to the center bolt.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
