VIDEO: KNIPEX Wire Rope Cutter

KNIPEX's 6 1/4" Wire Rope Cutter features shear cutting blades that offer a clean cut and prevent wire rope from splaying, according to the company. They are intended for cutting high-strength wire ropes up to 5/32" (4 mm) and cable 3/16" (6 mm). With a lock and opening spring, the pliers are easier to use during repetitive cutting and can be locked to keep the tool secure while not in use.
