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.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
