It features precision ground cutting edges and shear-type action for cutting cable and wire rope cleanly and evenly without the wire ends splaying or fanning out. The hand tool has a double-bearing, box joint design for stability and performance. It is engineered with ball bearing steel for long service life and its high-transmission joint design allows easier cutting. Other features include a thumb lock to secure the tool when not in use and an opening spring for easier use during repetitive cutting.
