Optimized hydraulics offer 20% faster advance and 30% faster retraction speeds than previous generation tools. Patent pending Auto-Retract feature provides a user-selectable ON/OFF switch to enable or disable automatic cycle retraction. Auto-Retract can also be stopped mid-cycle to speed repeat operation. Latched cutting head for superior shear strength on tough materials. Open scissor type cutting blades allow for easy cable insertion and positioning without the need to latch the head closed prior to cutting. 180˚ rotating head for ease of use and manueverability Large copper cable cutting is finally made easy with the REC-734YC – just pull the trigger and 6.6 tons immediately goes to work for you. The hydraulic system now features a rapid advance for reduced cycle times. This tool is similar to the REC-730Y|but has a slightly larger jaw opening without a “keeper” guard. Its sharp blades are rated for copper and aluminum cables only|up to 800 MCM or 1.4″ Al outside diameter.; The open “C” type jaw is very convenient for the operator when reaching out to cut cable|as opposed to latching a cutting jaw around the cable. The jaws will accept a maximum of 800 MCM copper or aluminum cables up to 1.4.” Distortion of the cable is minimal and cables can still be sleeved easily. Once the cable is severed|the cutter blades can be opened by the push of the release trigger located below the activation trigger – one finger is all that is needed to cut and release the tool. NOTE: DO NOT CUT STEEL.
