The SL-MK795YC 12 Ton Inline Cutting Tool is engineered for precision cutting of soft metals such as aluminum, telecommunication cables, and lead-sheathed wires. Built on the Makita® LXT® battery platform, this high-capacity scissor head tool provides exceptional power and performance in demanding utility, telecom, and underground applications.
Its open scissor-style blade design allows quick cable insertion without the need to latch the head before cutting, while the 180˚ rotating head ensures optimal maneuverability in tight workspaces. Rated for 75kV live line applications, this tool delivers safe and reliable operation even in energized environments.
With its ergonomic sidebar handle, the SL-MK795YC offers improved control and two-handed stability for precision cutting. A built-in bypass cartridge protects internal components if the tool exceeds its capacity—extending its operational lifespan and preventing damage from overload.
