Expert By Facom Cutters at Tooled-Up.com

Expert By Facom Cutters cover the cutting jobs that come up on site and in the workshop, from snipping wire to scoring glass. Tooled-Up.com stocks them in four types: bolt cutters, cable cutters, glass cutters and side cutters. Each is built for a different material and a different level of cutting force.

Together they suit electricians, maintenance engineers, glaziers, fitters and general contractors who want one brand for several cutting tasks. Choosing the right type matters more than anything else. A tool used outside its intended purpose will cut poorly and wear quickly.

Key Features of Expert By Facom Cutters

Each type of Expert By Facom cutter is designed around its job, so the features differ from one to the next.

• Bolt cutters: long handles and compound-action jaws multiply your hand force, so you can cut through bolts, chain, rod and padlock shackles without straining.
• Cable cutters: shaped blades shear through copper and aluminium cable cleanly. This avoids the crushed, frayed ends that general-purpose pliers leave behind.
• Glass cutters: a scoring wheel marks a clean line on the glass surface, so the sheet can be snapped along it with a controlled break.
• Side cutters: angled cutting edges give precise, close cuts on wire, cable ties and small fixings. Their slim heads reach into tight spaces such as consumer units and control panels.

Handles are shaped for a secure grip, which helps with control and reduces hand fatigue on repetitive cuts. Always check the capacity details on the individual product listing before choosing, as each cutter has limits on the material and thickness it can handle.

Bolt Cutters

Choose these for heavy-duty cutting where leverage is needed. Longer handles give more cutting force, while shorter versions are easier to carry and use in confined spaces.

Cable Cutters

These are made for cutting cable cleanly in one action. They are a sensible choice for first-fix and second-fix electrical work and cable installation.

Glass Cutters

Browse the Expert By Facom selection at Tooled-Up.com for cutters that score glass cleanly. They are useful for glazing repairs and fabrication.

Side Cutters

This is the everyday option for electrical and general work. Side cutters trim wire and cable ties and tidy up installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cable cutters and side cutters?

Side cutters are compact and suit wire, cable ties and small-gauge conductors. Cable cutters are made for larger copper and aluminium cable and give a cleaner cut on thicker conductors.

How do I choose the right size of bolt cutters?

Match the cutter to the thickest, hardest material you expect to cut. Longer handles give more leverage, but shorter tools are easier to use in tight spots. Check the capacity on the product listing, and never cut material harder than the tool is designed for.

Can I use cutters on live cables?

No. Always isolate the circuit and prove it dead before cutting any cable, following HSE guidance on electrical safety.

How does a glass cutter work?

The scoring wheel is drawn once along a straight edge to mark the glass surface. The sheet is then snapped along the score line. Wear safety glasses and gloves, and keep the wheel clean for a consistent score. Shop Expert By Facom Cutters at Tooled-Up.com to find the right cutter for the job.
