I think Fred is actually referring to Ideal 45-074.
A reviewer of 45-074 on Amazon ("Jeff") wrote:

"I made the mistake of attempting to cut the center core of RG-6 (cable 
tv coax) and that copper is too hard and make a nick in the cutter. I 
won't make that mistake again."

The product description says:

"Steel reinforced center conductors can be trimmed with bolt cutting holes."

Too many red flags here ...
