It has two cutting surfaces: front jaw and back jaw, with dual cutting zones. Its red and yellow handle is rated up to 1000V, while the blades are precision engineered and laser hardened for a strong durable blade that lasts.

  • Adjustable, high-leverage bolted joint provides precise and smooth cutting.
  • Slim head for easier accessibility.
