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.

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.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
