You Need This Tool - Episode 66 | Ratcheting Cable Cutter

[@oscargo29]

I really want this tool, but my ratcheting PVC Cutter I have has been working fine to this day. Cuts 2/0 and 4/0 clean. Untill I need a heavier duty tool like this one your talking about is when I'll have to finally get one. Thanks for sharing.

[@christianarciga4309]

basically if you're an electrician, you need these

[@ccronicc88]

Your very right in using large cable especially with lower voltages of d.c... As an experienced electrician I have a small bit of advice that might or might not add to your efficiency. Your using super-strand copper. The most flexible smallest strand in the trade. Works great with the exception of due to the small strands its the most prone to fast oxidations/corrosion and in a salt water environment (I'm from n.j.) doesn't hold up well in a surprisingly short period of time, the salt moisture eats it fast. If possible for permanent applications I would use THHN it is flexible but much less so than super-strand and is also meant for wet and hot environments with a copper arrangement called compact conductor. And it's cheaper for the same gage. On both wires highly recommend using a de-ox or The oxidizer to saturate the exposed copper. Comes in a grey and clear non drying wet silicone constancy. Wouldn't recommend the tradition grey it's a mess and stains. You might of known all of this but for anyone that doesn't.

An electricians best friend. Really saves your gripping power over time

[@bobs.8318]

Finally a tool I have! These Friday videos have been costing me money every week.Lol Thanks for the great video content every week. It's Friday Fool!

[@Thefabforums]

no problem, thanks for watching

[@Equiluxe1]

I have always used a carpenters bolster and hammer to cut welding cable. Lay the cable over a block of metal place the bolster on the place to cut and one good whack with the hammer and the deed is done no fraying just nice clean cut.

[@lawren6577]

Don't need, but really want....My wife doesn't like me watching this channel.

[@Moostery]

For when you need to cut through a steel cable bike lock with zero effort.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Great job Kyle, I know it's has to be a bit of a challenge to bring a different tool (that's kind of different) each and every week but your "batting a thousand" so far. Keep up the great job.

[@vt2704]

A $400 plus tool. My favorite when doing commercial service work. Welding ground wire? Wow that's awesome idea depending on pricing. It's is very flexible and it would stop interference better than standard battery relocation wire kits. Other than audio wire I will definitely check that out.

[@zxrjimmy1]

love hearing this every Friday ,,👍

[@Thefabforums]

thanks for watching

[@blodhgram373]

I agree

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

The huge benefit of welding cable is the ampacity rating. All those fine copper strands allow for a higher load or ampacity. We use it for our generator leads 400 amps per cable. Just some food for thought

[@Thefabforums]

yeah I really like using them

[@barryphilrush719]

Thank You Kyle , your on the money , I have a huge job coming up for work , and that tool will make life a hell of a lot easier. Thank you again 🏁👍

[@tstepp8557]

It's better to have it and not need it , than to need it and not have it.

[@Thefabforums]

for sure !

[@TheMotocross4life]

T Stepp this is the kind of thinking that makes me broke 😂

[@scientist100]

Been broke as we speak. Buying tools left and right and then I realize, I will use it and when I do, it will pay for itself. I'm getting ready to remove an engine and I was looking into clamp removal tools for hard to reach places and I'm somehow here on a video where a cutter is being used for large thick wires; I don't think I will be cutting battery post wires anytime soon so...

[@hboy954]

@@scientist100Happens to me all the time.

[@stevejanka361]

Your right it's probably not an essential tool, but oh lord when you need it. Thanks for the informative video.

[@DoubleRRestorations]

These are cool. I use one at work for telco cables. Works great on roots in the ground too. lol

[@robertford1329]

And to update, I have my 79 Mustang back so I will be welding up a complete CM tube chassis for it, THANKS for the inspiration to buy back my car so I can DO Work

[@Thefabforums]

thats aweome

[@tacsystems5621]

Have you seen the knipex? While you are at it check out their cobra pliers and their plier wrenches.

[@Thefabforums]

I have done those as well on here

[@WarrenMoffitt]

looks handy for when you've gotta get all mob boss on someone.

[@Terry_Baker]

Awesome video as usual Kyle!!

[@robertford1329]

another great vid, I have several pairs of these already though, I have worn them out before as I do Electrical work for a living.

[@TheMick26]

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Kyle! I figured you might have featured a bottle opener today.😉 J/K, bro. Nice vid of an essential tool for the guys who cut a lot of the big stuff. I hope you have a great weekend!👊

[@MattWho777]

Good ole' finger remover

[@Thefabforums]

lol...yeah for sure

[@chaseleim4773]

Torture tool

[@normanviking1]

have you tried cutting braided stainless hose with it? thanks

[@finngurgens3264]

Daniel Norman I was wondering the same thing. Would the edges still be clean? Or would it damage the hose?

[@finngurgens3264]

Daniel Norman I was wondering the same thing. Would the edges still be clean? Or would it damage the hose?

[@wesbeauchamp4182]

So i should stop using an axe?

[@CHVLKiD]

Love it👍🏻. Definitely a great tool man.

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@kuzz7919]

What are you using to crimp lugs on that Monster cable ??

[@roncooke2188]

You should go on tv and make everyone smile

[@albanianeagle3111]

I’m electrician and I got 1 of this is Realy handy

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

Ah yes everyone needs this tool for when they are installing their gondola or rigging up cables for their own personal zip lines.

[@draperb1]

i do need some good wire snips and cable cutters, great vid!

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@rodigor3361]

is it good for cutting bike shifter cable housing?

[@juiced71]

where do you guys get your wire from ? I know some place sell that white wire or something?

[@pizzago2161]

I use them a lot in electrical work and they do work . just be careful not to cut steel and steel embedded wire cause it will nick the jaws and rendering it hard to use or useless .

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome 《☆》Welding lead cable sounds like a good choice. It's a bit heavy but if You clamp it to the chassis it will add some ridgidity & handle as many amps as You can generate or draw ☻

[@mike-lu8di]

Or if the wallets empty ...a block of timber, a carpenters chisel and a good whack with a lump hammer gives a nice clean cut every time.

[@monkeystik2]

90's BMW 3 series have battery in trunk.pull a part charges like 6$ for a battery cable,no matter the length. And it's like double ot size fyi

[@steinarnie]

Hey Kyle can you send me an MP3 of "ITS FRIDAY FOOL" so I can use it as a ringtone! It's my favorite!!!!! Lol

[@TheKillerMarine]

could it also be used for stripping that wire?

[@Thefabforums]

It may not work very well for stripping

[@briangarrow448]

I have a friend who is a union lineman, IBEW Local 77. One of his favorite stories is about a newbie hire who was fooling around with one of those ratcheting cable cutters. The idiot put his finger in one, on a dare, tightened it up, and then couldn't release it and had to go to the local hospital emergency room to get it removed. Otherwise he was going to lose the finger! LOL!! Frivolity and laughter for years afterwards!! What a stupid bumblefuck!

[@Thefabforums]

lol

[@larndavies6954]

Gotta love fridays

[@Thefabforums]

yet another one comes and goes

[@hughjanus9822]

Must have for scrappers! I need some bad!

[@jaywhy225]

Another great ... shirt.

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@jaywhy225]

Of course the tool is great too ..

[@TxStang]

I have one , also cuts through heater hose like butter :)

[@Thefabforums]

yes it does

[@ICountFrom0]

Don't know if your watching these comments, or if anybody is, but, is there anything like this that can cut barbed wire? For animal rescue. Most of the time there's just not room to get the long handled wired cutters in there, it would be quite the help if there was a ratcheting cutter that could handle it, in that kind of small space.

[@tstepp8557]

Hey Kyle, We ready to take the grey goose out for a test drive yet? lol

[@Thefabforums]

lol...not just yet

[@dexter2811]

Dude... you always need new tools. Even if you don´t know what it function is, you NEED it.

[@xXx_XIX]

How to release the blade once use?

[@TwistedRRacinStaceyReeves]

It's Friday fool,be cool on yo stool.

[@twinturbo3470]

I'm a Powerline Man.......I use these everyday!!!

[@Thefabforums]

right on

[@dquinn8344]

These are good for cutting off the handles on my Turkey legs...

[@Jesse_Meyer]

“It’s not a must have” Title: “your need this tool..”

[@Thefabforums]

title is actually "you need this tool" its just what the series is called....still gonna tell you how I really feel

[@keaganblanchard7599]

U should do one on a welding helmet

[@waynenocton]

Check into using the mason chisel and block of aluminum with hammer style of cutting hoses or cables too if you get the chance.

[@Steve-qs5uy]

Nice tool did not know it exists l love. It I NEED THIS TOOL

[@tstepp8557]

Did you choose a name for the red dragon , I mean the new truck. lol

[@Thefabforums]

no not yet

[@chaseleim4773]

Look into 8/0 awg

[@horsepowerjunkiesoftexas5243]

Got bigger one than that. It cuts 750 mcm

[@bradsmith2386]

It's Friday Fool! You could possibly use this tool!! Lol

[@tstepp8557]

Dragon because it will be dragging stuff behind it. lol

[@Smokin07ram]

Who knew such a mutant looking thing existed? ! If I get that....I will be showing itl to my daughter's boyfriend! Put your tool in the wrong place.... and you could loose it and all! :)

[@mtay65]

2:35 not so clean actually

[@eastcoastcustomsreadingcus2950]

i know that sound. they are made from handcuffs. lol

[@zachthatguy7391]

damn you... you cost me money each and every Friday. :)

[@Thefabforums]

lol

[@poyp777]

"Not necessary to have" you got that right. If I'm cutting a single one of those cables I'm using a regular cable cutter and if it's multiple I'm using a Sawzall cause that's demo work. Pointless and expensive producut

[@haydengraham1322]

Portable bandsaw 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@theomnipresent1]

It's friday fool! But I don't really need this tool...

[@GaJeepr]

WOW... now that would be good also if you are a doctor. Or in need for certain male 8th-day religious events. Talk about "tool for effect!" oh come on... you know you were thinking it.

[@hippo-potamus]

Thanks for the review as now I can see that those cutters are a POS and thus not buy them and waste my money.

[@chasemc69]

GREAT TOOL... too bad it sounds like handcuffs

[@jimzivny1554]

chasemc69 LOL, brings back bad memories?

[@Thefabforums]

lmao

[@chasemc69]

lol I don't wanna talk about it.

[@DrLoverLover]

No I don't

[@delloda]

Great for stealing bikes...

[@stormylawson2478]

Hes cute
