PortaForce CC65 Battery Operated Cable Cutter – Cuts 65mm – 2 x 18V Li-ion Batteries

The PortaForce CC-65 pairs a hydraulic ratchet cutting head with an 18V 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery, giving tradespeople a cordless cable cutter for cutting copper and aluminium cable, ACSR conductor, and steel wire rope up to 65mm in diameter. The ratchet mechanism compresses the blades in controlled stages rather than a single squeeze, delivering a clean cut through heavier-gauge cable with less operator effort than a comparable manual ratchet cable cutter.

As a battery operated cable cutter, the CC-65 removes the need for a mains power cord, generator, or separate hydraulic pump on site — a genuine advantage for electrical contractors working in switchrooms, on overhead lines, or in confined spaces, and for telecommunications and construction crews cutting armoured cable in the field. The 18V battery platform recharges in approximately 2 hours, and the tool is supplied with a second battery so one can be on charge while the other stays in use.

At 65mm cutting capacity, the CC-65 sits a step up from the smaller CC-50 in the same battery cable cutter range, suited to larger-gauge copper and aluminium cable runs, heavier ACSR conductor, and thicker steel wire rope. Application scope for this class of ratchet hydraulic cable cutter spans electrical installation and maintenance work, telecommunications infrastructure deployment, and construction projects involving structural wire rope and armoured cable.

Suited to Australian electrical, telecommunications, mining, and construction environments, the CC-65 is built to sit in a site van or tool crib and be picked up whenever a heavier copper or aluminium cable, ACSR run, or steel wire rope needs cutting cleanly and quickly, without the downtime of setting up a hydraulic pump or sourcing mains power.

Key Features

• Battery powered, cordless operation – An 18V 5.0Ah Li-ion battery drives the cutting head, so there’s no mains cord, generator, or hydraulic pump required on site.
• Ratchet hydraulic cutting action – The ratchet mechanism compresses the blades in stages for a clean, controlled cut with reduced operator effort compared with a manual cutter.
• 65mm cutting capacity – Cuts copper and aluminium cable, ACSR conductor, and steel wire rope up to 65mm in diameter.
• Fast recharge – The 18V battery recharges in approximately 2 hours; a second battery is included so work can continue while one charges.
• Durable, field-ready construction – Built for repeated use in electrical, telecommunications, and construction environments rather than occasional light-duty cutting.
• Portable carry case – Supplied in a plastic case, making it easy to transport between job sites or store in a site van.
• Broad application scope – Suited to electrical installation and maintenance, telecommunications infrastructure work, and construction projects involving cable and wire rope.
