Easy-to-change cutting plates, Cutting plates of powder metallurgical high-speed steel (HSS). Manufactured in the MIM process (Metal Injection Molding), Extremely high durability compared to traditional wire rope cutters, Extremely soft shearing cut reliably prevents the wire rope from fanning out, Tip: Can be operated with one hand of an average size up to a 5 mm Ø. Therefore optimally suited as shears in an emergency at sea., Tip: Can be operated with one hand of an average size up to a 5 mm Ø. Therefore optimally suited as shears in an emergency at sea., Specially arched cutting edges, Easy to replace cutting plates if worn, Hardness 62 - 65 HRC, Low force needed due to the optimum cutting-edge geometry, Low effort required due to optimum cutting geometry, 2 integrated press profiles for Bowden cable end caps and Bowden cable sheath end caps, Cutting performance: Wire ropes up to 1800 N / mm² with max. Ø 6 mm (e.g. stainless steel wire ropes, wire ropes with steel and textile ropes, Bowden cables, shrouds), Wire up to 750 N/mm² with max. 4 mm Ø (e.g. nails/wire pins, screws, bolts, ceiling hangers), Single and multicore copper and aluminium cables with max. 10 mm Ø, Joint: Adjustable joint for precise cutting plate guidance, Latch to prevent unwanted opening, thighs/handles: Version JC = with 2-component handles, Material/Finish: Plier body hot drop-forged, Chrome-plated
