Key Features & Standards
-
Forged Chrome-Vanadium Steel: High-alloy Cr-V construction provides high tensile strength, preventing jaw distortion or chipping during tough cuts.
-
Induction-Hardened Cutting Edges: Precision-ground diagonal blades maintain sharpness over thousands of cutting cycles.
-
High-Leverage Design: Optimized rivet alignment close to the cutting edge transfers maximum force with minimal effort.
-
Ergonomic Soft-Grip Handles: Non-slip contoured handles with finger stops provide comfortable control and reduce palm fatigue.
⚠️ Safety Warning: Non-insulated tool handles—do not use on live electrical wires or energized circuits. Always disconnect electrical power prior to cutting. Wear ANSI-approved eye protection and work gloves, as wire ends can fly off when cut.
