Klein Tools 53725 Armored and BX Cable Cutter, Cuts Up to 3/8 Inch Armored Cable-BX-AC-MC-MCAP-Greenfield, With Storage and Extra Blades

Not sure what the negative reviews are, but go figure some people can't figure out how to put it together without instructions (that are in the package). Disregard the dm fks that have issues. This tool is great and I bought it for a wiring project I had in my carport. Worked EXCELLENT!

I am quickly learning that Klein is the way to go. As with all of their products this is of a superior build quality. Very well made and works great. The extra blade storage space in the handle is clever and convenient. Well worth the money.

Love it

I too was very reluctant to order one after reading the other reviews and have found that reviews are only as good as the mechanic using the product. Having a deadline and needing a roto split Prime overnight I reluctantly ordered this one and true to life I put the thing together handed it to my partner and he immediately broke the blade. I was on a large commercial project so fortunately I was able to take a blade from a used splitter and mine worked great all week long making hundreds of cuts and buddies were borrowing for a few cuts of their own. That helped me to realize why the blade will break when you first get it. When you use these you tend to get in the habit of gripping hard on the handle that pushes the cable against the blade. Now if the blade is brand new the super sharp teeth bite directly into the jacket and with the pressure of over squeezing it causes the blade to snap. Of course my partner thought that was a cheap blade seeing as he destroyed my tool but it needs to be super thin to work as its designed. Now when I went to round up another blade from another tool and having used several well worn copies of this exact same unit on large job site, I have come to the realization that a duller blade works the best! And if you are used to using one with a dull blade be aware when you get a new sharp blade installed, learn to go easy on the handle until it starts to get dull and you won't break the blade. So Bottom Line This is a good tool, it doesn't fall apart, it's preset to work right out of the package and it's well worth the very low cost. Remember, when it's new, gently lock the cable in but just enough so it doesn't slip, start cracking and then start applying hand pressure you will find that it works flawlessly. Someone complained about 15 cranks? As a product design engineer myself, it annoys me so much when someone will dog a fine little product over something like the exact number of turns it takes to make an annoying task so very easy.I would definitely recommend this to anyone with skill and brains.

For this diy guy, it was very worth it. Made wiring my shop a lot easier, it cleanly cut the metal casing and never nicked a wire

some revues clamed the tool was cheap but I did the whole garage with this tool and had not one hiccup.

Excelente Producto muy útil, se siente la calidad

Exactly as the title states. I followed the assembly instructions and made sure to check the strength and durability of the blade after installing. The first few times I used the MC cutter on a piece of hospital grade MC there was an inability of the blade to actually cut into the MC, and with even the slightest pressure I put, the blade seized and the armor did not allow it to cut at all! Eventually after trying to tweak the cutters, the blade eventually started rotating and cutting, but in only a couple of tries, the blades essentially went dull and flaked off! The price of this piece of equipment, and its shoddy build quality was disappointing, considering the price and the supposed reputed build quality of Klein tools. Learned my lesson, won't be using these again.
