Telco BigFoot ratcheting cable cutter lets datacom installers cut up to 2700 pair telephone cable or thick Stalpath type communications cable with minimal stress on their hands and forearms. Use requires contractor to plant unit’s over-molded boot on ground and push down on other handle; tool’s mechanical leverage cuts cable instead of muscular force. Rounded, hardened steel blades with 5-tooth ratchet action hold cable tight for minimal distortion.
