Having years of experience with knives and armoured cable cutters, as in actually using them without cutting myself. I think I can comment on this. You can forget any gloves protecting against an armoured cable cutter, depending upon what you are defining that device as. If it’s what I am expecting, then a glove will not stop w. It is not a knife blade, it does not work like a knife. It is a shear action tool so it will cut the cable, and then the finger and just extrude glove into the shear action. However to do this the operative would need to force the cutter into their finger(s) by squashing the handles on the cutter with more force from his other hand. So he would literally be forcing the handles with one hand to chop off the finger on the other hand. Really? I have never cut myself stripping armoured cable with fixed or manually retractable blade “Stanley” knife. It can be done with suitable training, instructions, care by the user and most importantly the right amount of time to do the job properly given by management. Other means are available most of them take longer than using a knife so they don’t make it any quicker than giving the operative adequate time to do it correctly in the first place! There are many other tools available to replace the knife, but, they cost more each operative needs their own tool, they often need more skill to use and take longer.
