Battery-actuated PATRIOT[R] PATCUT245CUAL-18V is capable of cutting cable up to 2.45 in. OD. Ergonomic design allows one hand operation, so user has one hand free to manipulate conductor into proper cutting position. Latch-style cutting head allows interference-free closure for mid-span cuts, and rotates 180[degrees] to allow users to get into tight areas. Tool comes with high-impact carrying case, tool retention lanyard, battery charger, and two 18 V Ni/MH batteries.


Advanced Design High-Speed Pump Completes Tough Cuts Faster

FCI-BURNDY[R], a leading manufacturer and provider of connector solutions to the industrial, energy, application tooling and automotive industries, introduces the PATRIOT[R] PATCUT245CUAL-18V battery actuated hydraulic cutter for the electrical market. Compact, fast, and easy to use, the PATCUT245 incorporates the latest in battery tool technology.

Intended for copper and aluminum cable only, the PATCUT245CUAL-18V is capable of cutting up to 2.45 inches (outside diameter) of cable and has a larger cutting capacity than another recently introduced battery actuated hydraulic cutter, the PATCUT129.

The ergonomic design allows one hand operation, so the user has one hand free to manipulate the conductor into the proper cutting position. Also, the PATCUT245 incorporates a specialized latch-style cutting head that allows interference-free closure for mid-span cuts, and it rotates 180 degrees to allow users to more easily get into tight areas.

The PATCUT245 comes equipped with a high impact formed carrying case to hold the tool, a tool retention lanyard, a battery charger and two batteries. The tool operates on industry-standard 18-volt Ni/MH batteries that eliminate voltage depression or "memory" issues. The PATCUT245 also features the addition of a reliable mechanical ram release that helps prevent depletion of battery power.
