Huskie S-550 | 55mm Manual Hydraulic ACSR Cable Cutter | 12.4 Ton Guillotine Cutter

55mm Manual Hydraulic Cutter (ACSR) | S-550 — Product Overview

The Huskie S-550 55mm Manual Hydraulic Cutter is a heavy-duty, field-proven cutting tool designed for utility professionals who need reliable performance without battery power. Delivering 12.4 tons (124kN) of hydraulic cutting force, the S-550 cleanly cuts ACSR, copper, aluminum, guy wire, anchor rod, rebar, soft steel, and other common utility materials with minimal cable distortion.

Built from high-grade black oxide coated steel for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, the S-550 is engineered to withstand years of demanding field use. Its guillotine-style cutting jaw provides cleaner, more efficient cuts while reducing the jamming commonly associated with shear-style cutters. The flip-top latch head opens quickly for easy cable insertion and rotates 180° to provide optimal positioning in confined work areas.

Designed with comfort and control in mind, the insulated non-slip rubber handle grips improve leverage while enhancing operator safety during manual cutting applications. Lightweight for its class and easy to transport, the S-550 is an ideal choice for overhead, underground, and general utility maintenance work.

Note: Not designed for cutting EHS (Extra High Strength) guy wire.
