Flush cutters utilize a shearing cut, with the bypass cutting edges, slicing cleanly through metal reducing mechanical shock to components.  Less cutting action means fewer fatigue related complaints.

Features & Benefits

• Xcelite Part Number: 170M (alternative p/n 170MN)

• Low profile cutter can reach into congested difficult-to-access areas

• General-purpose cutter for cutting soft wire
• By-pass shear cutting action cuts wire like blades on a scissor

• Micro-shear cutting action requires only about half of the effort compared to a conventional compression-style cutter
• Greatly reduced mechanical shock delivered to the work
• Made from high quality carbon steel
• Non-glare black finish is easy on the eyes for close work and extended length applications

Specifications:

• Overall length 5-in.
