A cable cutter includes stationary and moveable clamps, each comprising a respective pivot opening and a cutting edge spaced from the pivot opening. A pivot joint connects the clamps to allow the movable clamp to pivot about a pivot axis relative to the stationary clamp. The pivot joint includes a threaded connector having a head and a shank extending from the head along the pivot axis through the pivot openings in the clamps. A collar has opposing faces and an opening extending through the collar. A nut is threaded on the shank and the clamps are sandwiched between the head and the collar with the head adjacent one of the clamps. The collar is engaged to rotate with the shank the about the pivot axis.
