FELCO C16E - Two-Hand Wire and Cable Cutter - Electrical Cable up to 20mm

FELCO C16E Two-Hand Wire and Cable Cutter - Electrical Cable up to 20mm

The FELCO C16E is a professional-grade cutting tool specifically engineered for the electrical and telecommunications sectors. Designed for two-handed operation, it provides the exceptional leverage required to shear through large-diameter copper and aluminum cables up to 20mm. This model is distinguished by its modified blade geometry, optimized specifically for the softer yet denser profiles of electrical conductors. By utilizing FELCO’s legendary triangular cutting action, the C16E delivers a clean, square cut without crushing the cable or deforming the delicate internal strands, ensuring that the cable is perfectly prepped for connectors or terminals without additional rework.

Best For Electrical contractors, utility workers, and industrial technicians who require a high-leverage tool for precision cutting of heavy-gauge copper and aluminum electrical cabling.

Key Features

• Specialized Electrical Cut: Features a modified triangular cutting system specifically designed to shear through non-ferrous electrical cables (copper/aluminum) without splaying or deforming the core.

• High-Leverage Efficiency: The extra-long forged handles provide a massive mechanical advantage, allowing users to cut through 20mm cabling with minimal physical exertion and maximum control.

• Induction-Hardened Steel Head: The cutting head is manufactured from premium Swiss hardened steel, ensuring long-term edge retention and resistance to the abrasive properties of heavy-duty industrial cables.

• Industrial-Strength Construction: Built with unbreakable forged aluminum alloy handles, the C16E offers an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, finished with a non-slip, ergonomic coating for safe handling.

• Precision Adjustment & Serviceability: Features an integrated bolt and nut system for micrometric blade adjustment, with all parts being fully replaceable to ensure a lifetime of professional performance.

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

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.
