8 Ton Cutting Tool (ACSR)
Discover the power and efficiency of the 8 Ton Cutting Tool (ACSR), engineered to meet the demands of cutting the toughest materials in construction and utility applications. The REC-MKS740L is a battery-operated cutting tool designed for maximum performance, featuring an impressive 1.6-inch jaw opening that accommodates a wide range of cutting tasks. This high-performance tool is capable of cutting up to 1590 MCM ACSR cables, standard guy wires, and ground rods up to 5/8 inch in diameter, making it a versatile addition to any professional toolkit.
Designed with user convenience and safety in mind, the REC-MKS740L incorporates optimized hydraulics, providing 20% faster advance and 30% faster retraction speeds compared to previous generation tools. This advancement minimizes downtime, allowing you to complete tasks more efficiently and effectively. The patent-pending Auto-Retract feature enhances control over the cutting process with a user-selectable ON/OFF switch for automatic cycle retraction. For repetitive tasks, the Auto-Retract feature can be paused mid-cycle, significantly speeding up your workflow and making it easier to manage cutting sequences.
The lightweight ergonomic design of the REC-MKS740L enables one-handed operation, allowing for enhanced maneuverability and reduced fatigue during extended use. Its 180˚ rotating head allows for easy positioning in tight spaces, ensuring you can cut accurately and efficiently in various work environments. Additionally, the protective brush guards ensure durability and longevity, protecting the cutting mechanism from debris and wear.
Key Features:
- Optimized Hydraulic Performance: Achieves 20% faster advance and 30% faster retraction speeds for improved productivity.
- User-Friendly Auto-Retract Feature: ON/OFF switch for automatic cycle retraction and mid-cycle stopping for rapid operations.
- Lightweight Ergonomic Design: Perfectly balanced for one-handed operation, minimizing user fatigue.
- Versatile Cutting Capability: Cuts up to 1590 MCM ACSR cables, standard guy wires, and ground rods up to 5/8 inch.
- Built-In Safety Mechanism: Automatic disengagement when reaching maximum capacity or attempting to cut materials beyond limits.
Safety is paramount with the REC-MKS740L, which features a built-in bypass system. This safety mechanism automatically disengages the cutting action when the tool reaches its 8-ton capacity or if it encounters materials beyond its cutting capabilities, providing peace of mind during operation.
Upgrade your cutting efficiency with the 8 Ton Cutting Tool (ACSR), where innovation meets reliability for every cutting task.
Please note that this cutting tool is not designed for cutting EHS guy wire or case-hardened steel rods. For those specific applications, we recommend considering our alternative models: REC-S624CC, S-240CC, SP-24CC, S-32CC, or SP-32CC1.
