Corta-fios FELCO C12 500mm com punhos revestidos a plástico

Cutting thick steel cables and wire ropes by hand is often a struggle—standard cutters either lack the leverage or quickly dull, leaving frayed ends and wasted effort. The FELCO C12 Wire Rope Cutter solves this with a 500 mm long design that gives you the mechanical advantage to slice through cables up to 12 mm in diameter cleanly and with minimal force.

Who is it for

This tool is built for professionals and serious do-it-yourselfers who regularly work with steel cables, wire ropes, strands, or spring wire. Whether you are in construction, rigging, agriculture, fencing, or industrial maintenance, the C12 delivers reliable, repeatable cuts without damaging the cable structure.

Main features

• Exceptional cutting capacity: handles steel cables up to 12 mm (0.47 in) and hard steel rods up to 7 mm (0.28 in) with a maximum material hardness of 160 kg/mm².
• Triangular cutting system: produces a clean, shear-type cut that prevents crushing or fraying of wire strands.
• Long 500 mm (19.7 in) handles: provide outstanding leverage for two-hand operation, reducing user fatigue.
• Forged aluminum handles with plastic coating: lightweight yet robust, with a non-slip, ergonomic grip for safe handling.
• Hardened steel blades: precision-ground and corrosion-resistant for long service life; blades are replaceable to extend tool life.
• Integrated safety lock: keeps the cutter closed when not in use, preventing accidental injuries.
• Swiss-made quality: manufactured by FELCO, a leader in cutting tools since 1945.

Tips

To maximize blade life, use the C12 only on materials within its specified capacity and hardness. After cutting, wipe the blades clean and apply a light coat of oil to prevent corrosion. Store the cutter in a dry place with the safety lock engaged.
