The CCB100 is a hand held, battery operated cable cutter. With a squeeze of the trigger, this tool will easily cut through cables as large as 1000 kcmil soft drawn copper or aluminum or 750 kcmil hard drawn copper. The CCB100 has a 3 way switch (forward,reverse, and neutral) which allows the operator to make partial cuts, to back off the cable, or to make adjustments during the cutting cycle. The cutting unit, battery, and battery charger are packaged in a plastic carrying case for portability.
