Description
The Yato YT-20433 is a 205 mm long multi-purpose cutter designed especially for handling electrical cables and for versatile universal use in installation work. The tool combines the features of an effective side cutter and a cable crimper for electrical conductors in one compact body, reducing the need to carry several different tools.
The body of the product is made of CrV steel (chrome vanadium), which guarantees the strength and durability needed even under heavier mechanical stress (toughness 40–50 HRC). The cutting edges of the pliers are separately hardened to 58–62 HRC. This allows a precise, clean and effective cut and prevents the blades from going blunt quickly. The polished finish of the jaws improves the precision of the tool, prevents corrosion and makes cleaning easier.
In addition to the side cutter function, the pliers have an integrated crimping function for electrical conductors. The tool is suitable for crimping F-type conductors with a cross-section of 1–6 mm² (18–8 AWG) and C-type conductors of 1.5 mm² (16–14 AWG). Comfort and power transmission are improved by two-component ergonomic handles made of PP and TPR materials, which give a non-slip grip even in demanding working conditions. The 205 mm length guarantees optimal leverage and transmission of squeezing force even in heavier cuts.
Intended use:
- Electrical installations: For efficiently cutting cables and conductors and crimping connectors in distribution boards, junction boxes and cabling.
- Workshop use: A versatile combination tool for mechanical installations where both cutting and crimping are needed in quick succession without changing tools.
- General maintenance work: For cutting various installation materials and fixing tasks that require good leverage and an ergonomic grip.
Package contents:
- 1 x Yato multi-purpose cutters 205 mm for electrical cables (YT-20433)
Features:
- CrV steel construction: Chrome vanadium steel gives strength and longevity in heavy mechanical use, preventing the body from distorting.
- Hardened cutting edges: A hardness of 58–62 HRC ensures a precise, effective cut and excellent resistance to going blunt.
- Integrated crimping function: Allows quick crimping of electrical conductors (F 1–6 mm² and C 1.5 mm²) without a separate crimping tool.
- Two-component handles: Handles made of PP and TPR materials damp the strain on the hand and give a firm grip.
- Optimised 205 mm length: Gives excellent leverage, which makes cutting even heavier cables easier and reduces the squeezing force needed.
- Polished jaws: Improve the precision of the tool, prevent the surface oxidising and make it easier to clean off dirt.

Yato multi-purpose cutters 205 mm instructions for use:
Always check the condition of the multi-purpose cutter before use, especially around the cutting edges and crimping jaws. When cutting thicker cables, place the cable as deep in the cutting edges as possible, close to the joint, for optimal power transmission. When using the crimping function, choose the right crimping point for the cross-section of the conductor (1–6 mm² or 1.5 mm²) and squeeze the handles evenly and firmly all the way to ensure a safe joint. Keep the tool clean and lubricate the joint regularly with light machine oil to guarantee smooth mechanical operation.
Warnings:
Note the following warnings when using the product:
- Not electrically insulated: The tool has no VDE-approved electrical insulation. Never use it on live electrical circuits because of the risk of serious electric shock.
- Respecting capacity: Do not cut hardened steel wire or materials that exceed the designed cutting capacity of the tool, so that the 58–62 HRC blades do not chip.
- Protective equipment: Always wear safety glasses at work in case cable ends or cut-offs fly off.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Q: Can these crimp insulated abiko connectors?
A: The crimping jaws are designed mainly for certain types of conductors and open connectors (F 1–6 mm², C 1.5 mm²). Check the compatibility of the connector type before crimping, so that any insulation is not damaged.
Q: Are these pliers safe for electrical work?
A: The pliers are designed specifically for handling electrical cables and conductors, but they are not insulated live-working tools. Always work only on networks that have been made completely dead.
Q: What is the significance of CrV steel in this tool?
A: CrV (chrome vanadium steel) guarantees that the body of the tool withstands the high crimping and cutting stresses of a multi-purpose cutter without distorting, which considerably extends the life of the tool compared with ordinary carbon steel.
Recycling instructions:
The CrV steel body of the product is fully recyclable metal and should be disposed of at a metal collection point at the end of its life. The PP and TPR plastic parts of the handles can be removed and recycled as energy waste or combustible waste according to local instructions. Packaging materials (such as cardboard) are sorted for cardboard collection.
