New IDEAL Telco BigFoot Uses Leverage Not Muscle to Cut Thick Communications Cables
SYCAMORE, IL, November 12, 2008 -- Building on the success of its original BigFoot (TM) ratcheting cable cutter introduced last year, IDEAL has launched the Telco BigFoot designed to let datacom installers easily cut up to 2700 pair telephone cable or thick Stalpath® type communications cable with significantly less stress on their hands and forearms.
Installers who routinely cut large cables will appreciate the Telco BigFoot as a time and labor saving tool that reduces repetitive motion injuries. To use the Telco BigFoot, the contractor simply plants its over molded boot on the ground and then pushes down on the other handle, using the tool's mechanical leverage to cut the cable instead of muscular force.
A cost-saving alternative to expensive hydraulic cutting equipment, the IDEAL Telco BigFoot offers an unmatched combination of:
Hardened steel blades to achieve precision cuts and long-term durability
Rounded blades with five-tooth ratchet action to hold cable tight for minimal distortion
Compact dimensions for access into confined spaces
Quick release action to ease blade back-out
Locking mechanism to keep handles closed for safer storage
SmartGrip® ergonomic, slip resistant handles for a sure grip, even when wet.
