12 Ton Inline Scissor Head Cutting Tool | SL-RL795YC | Milwaukee M18 Compatible — Product Overview
The Huskie SL-RL795YC 12 Ton Inline Scissor Head Soft Metal Cutter is a professional-grade hydraulic cutting solution designed for fast, precise cutting of large-diameter soft metal cable. Featuring open scissor-style blades, this inline cutter allows quick cable insertion and positioning without having to latch the cutting head before each cut, making it ideal for utility, telecom, electrical, and underground distribution applications.
Powered by a Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ 5.0Ah battery, the SL-RL795YC delivers reliable cordless performance with up to 150 cutting cycles per charge on 1000 MCM copper cable. The rugged steel hydraulic body, forged cutting jaws, and ergonomic sidebar handles provide exceptional durability, stability, and operator comfort for demanding jobsite conditions.
The 180° rotating cutting head improves maneuverability in confined workspaces, while the 75kV live line rating makes the tool suitable for utility professionals working in energized environments. Choose the SL-RL795YC-1 kit (one Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ 5.0Ah battery, 120VAC charger and tool bag), the SL-RL795YCDC-1 kit (same, with a 12VDC charger), or the SL-RL795YCX bare tool with tool bag if you already run Milwaukee M18 batteries.
