DA-12 Hydraulic Low-Pressure Cable Cutter | 6 Ton Remote Cutting Head
Hydraulic Low-Pressure Cable Cutter – DA-12 Remote Hydraulic Cutting Head - product Overview
The Huskie Tools DA-12 Hydraulic Low-Pressure Cable Cutter is a rugged, handheld remote hydraulic cutting head engineered for utility, electrical, and telecommunications professionals who need reliable cutting performance from standard low-pressure hydraulic systems. Operating at 2,500 psi, the DA-12 delivers 6 tons of cutting force, making it ideal for cutting lead sheath, copper, aluminum, and communications cables up to 4,200-pair without the need for high-pressure hydraulic equipment.
Designed for direct connection to open-center utility truck hydraulic systems, the DA-12 uses standard HTMA hydraulic couplers, allowing crews to get to work quickly with minimal setup. Its double-acting hydraulic jaw system provides smooth, controlled cutting action while reducing the risk of blade binding or jamming, even during demanding field applications.
Built for everyday use in challenging environments, the DA-12 features a compact, handheld design with knurled non-slip handles for a secure grip in wet or dirty conditions. A positive open/close jaw position and built-in safety trigger give operators greater control by stopping the cutter immediately when the trigger is released, improving both safety and cutting precision.
Whether you're working on overhead distribution, underground utility systems, or telecommunications infrastructure, the DA-12 delivers dependable, industrial-grade cutting performance in a lightweight, field-ready package.
