FELCO C12 - Two-Hand Wire and Cable Cutter - Steel Cable up to 12mm

FELCO C12 Two-Hand Wire and Cable Cutter - Steel Cable up to 12mm

The FELCO C12 is a professional-grade, high-capacity cable cutter designed for the most demanding industrial and maritime applications. Built for two-handed operation, it features long, high-leverage handles that allow you to shear through heavy steel cable up to 12mm in diameter with remarkable control. This model incorporates FELCO's legendary triangular cutting action, which ensures the cable is not crushed or flattened, but cleanly sheared from the outside in. This preserves the integrity of the wire rope and makes it easy to slide into terminals or sleeves without the need for additional grinding or filing. Forged for durability and precision, the C12 is the definitive choice for heavy-duty wire work where failure is not an option.

Best For Maritime riggers, industrial maintenance teams, and construction professionals who require a high-leverage tool for cutting large-diameter stainless steel cable, wire rope, and high-tensile rods.

Key Features

• Clean Triangular Shear: FELCO’s world-renowned triangular cutting system wraps around the cable to prevent splaying or unravelling, leaving a perfectly round finish ready for terminal installation.

• Maximum Mechanical Advantage: The extended high-strength handles are engineered to multiply user input, allowing for smooth, powerful cuts through 12mm steel wire with reduced physical effort.

• Induction-Hardened Steel Blades: The blades and center bolt are manufactured from premium quality hardened steel, specifically tempered to maintain a sharp, clean edge even when cutting through high-tensile spring wire.

• Lightweight Forged Handles: Features forged aluminum alloy handles that are both unbreakable and lightweight, protected by a non-slip, ergonomic coating for a secure grip in wet or greasy conditions.

• Long-Term Serviceability: Designed for a lifetime of use, the C12 allows for precise blade adjustment and features completely replaceable parts, ensuring consistent performance for decades.

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.
