The Huskie SLA-MKS724H is a professional-grade 8-ton inline hydraulic hard metal cutter kit engineered for utility, electrical, telecom, and construction professionals who need fast, clean, and reliable cutting performance in the field.

Designed with Huskie's advanced Auto-Retract with Jog & Hold Trigger, the SLA-MKS724H gives operators greater control and cutting accuracy by allowing the blades to stop, jog, or automatically retract as needed. Combined with optimized hydraulic performance, the tool delivers cutting speeds up to 25% faster under load, helping crews complete more work with less downtime.
Its 180° rotating latch-style head allows operators to position the tool for comfortable cutting from virtually any angle, while the forged steel jaws and durable steel hydraulic body provide the strength and reliability needed for demanding utility applications. A large integrated metal hanging ring makes it easy to hang the tool from bucket hooks for quick access during overhead work.
Capable of producing clean, flat cuts on a wide variety of hard materials, the SLA-MKS724H is ideal for cutting wire rope, ACSR cable, guy wire, ground rod, copper/aluminum cable, and rebar. The tool is also 75kV live line rated, making it suitable for energized utility environments when used according to proper safety procedures.
