What tool is specifically designed to cut larger cables and conductors?

The tool designed specifically to cut larger cables and conductors is the ratcheting cable cutters. These cutters are engineered for the purpose of cutting through thick and heavy materials, such as large electrical cables, that standard cutting tools cannot handle effectively. The ratchet mechanism allows for increased leverage, enabling the user to apply more force with less effort. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with heavy-duty applications where precision and strength are necessary.

In contrast, diagonal cutting pliers are more suited for smaller wires and tasks involving light-duty cutting. Pulling ropes and fishsticks are tools used for different purposes, such as pulling cables through conduits, rather than cutting. This distinction clarifies why ratcheting cable cutters are the optimal choice for cutting larger cables and conductors.
