Extended 8-inch length provides additional leverage for cutting through thick battery cables and heavy-gauge safety wire in professional applications
XLT® technology requires significantly less cutting force reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like wire harness removal and cable cutting
Laser-hardened cutting edges last longer maintaining sharpness through thousands of cuts on hardened cotter pins and corroded exhaust hangers
Precision-machined knife and anvil design delivers clean cuts on soft metals and wire without crushing or leaving dangerous burrs
Forged USA high-carbon steel with rust-resistant coating protects against battery acid, brake fluid, and harsh shop chemical exposure
