Description
Anyone cutting stranded wire, cable ties and spring steel wire all day feels every unnecessary squeeze. Thanks to its high lever transmission the X-Cut 73 02 160 SB needs around 40 percent less force than a standard diagonal cutter of the same length, and despite its 160 mm body it cuts multi-core copper cable up to 12.0 mm and piano wire up to 2.2 mm. The pliers are supplied on a self-service blister card.
Benefits
- 40 percent less force than standard diagonal cutters of the same length, so the hand tires noticeably later.
- Cutting edge angle and transmission ratio are matched to each other, which gives high cutting performance with minimum effort.
- Box joint with a double supported axis, highest stability at only 195 g and built for hard, continuous duty.
- Large opening width for thicker cable, multi-core copper cable up to 12.0 mm.
- Precise cut even on fine copper strands, hard wire up to 2.7 mm and piano wire up to 2.2 mm.
- Compact, weight saving construction at 160 x 85 x 20 mm, so it fits into any tool bag.
Applications
Universally usable in assembly, maintenance and production, and equally at home in electrical and control cabinet construction, electronics manufacturing and model making. One tool covers the finest wires and thicker cable alike, so a second diagonal cutter usually stays in the bag.
Standards and compliance
The diagonal cutter is manufactured to DIN ISO 5749. According to the manufacturer it contains no substances of very high concern under REACH, and the RoHS directive is not applicable to this tool.
