FELCO CDO - Commando One-Hand Cable Cutter - For Barbed Wire

FELCO CDO Commando One-Hand Cable Cutter - For Barbed Wire

The FELCO CDO is a specialized, heavy-duty cable cutter designed specifically for the rigorous task of cutting barbed wire. Originally engineered for military and security applications, this "Commando" model is built to provide maximum shearing power with a single hand. Its triangular cutting action ensures that the wire is not crushed but cleanly sheared, making it an essential tool for fencing contractors, farmers, and security professionals. With its compact design and legendary FELCO durability, the CDO offers a reliable solution for clearing obstacles or maintaining high-tensile fences in the toughest environments.

Best For Fencing professionals, military and security personnel, and farmers who need a portable, one-handed tool specifically optimized for cutting barbed wire and small-diameter cables.

Key Features

• Triangular Cutting Action: FELCO’s signature triangular cut prevents wire from being crushed or deformed, ensuring a clean, precise shear every time.

• One-Handed Operation: Designed for efficiency, the handles are shaped to allow maximum leverage with one hand, leaving the other hand free to handle the wire or maintain balance.

• Hardened Steel Blades: The blades and center bolt are made of high-quality hardened steel, engineered to maintain their edge even when repeatedly cutting high-tensile barbed wire.

• Compact "Commando" Design: Small enough to be carried in a pocket or holster, yet powerful enough to handle barbed wire up to 5mm in diameter.

• Reliable Safety Catch: Features a thumb-operated locking catch that keeps the tool securely closed when not in use, protecting the blades and the user during transport.

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.
