For extreme demands on cutting pliers caused by hard or tough materials, e.g. piano, nickel, tungsten and diode wire, which are used more frequently in the electronics and aerospace industries. Precision carbide metal cutting edges soldered into forged blanks. Sturdy, zero backlash box-joint. Hardness of the carbide cutting edges (approx. 80 – 83 HRC). Pliers with carbide metal cutting edges have a substantially longer service life than with conventional cutting edges. Constantly reliable cutting results due to the avoidance of cutter deformations. High cost savings due to longer service life of the pliers. Pointed head with chamfer; with small bevel. ESD (electrostatic discharge) handles discharge electrostatic energy through the handles in a gradual and controlled manner which protects components endangered by electrostatic discharge. Ball bearing steel; laser-hardened cutting edges. High cost saving due to longer service life of the pliers. Pointed head with chamfer. Small bevel. Semi-flush cut.
