Its induction-hardened precision cutting edges easily slice through piano wire up to 2.5 mm, hard wire up to 3.0 mm, and medium-hard wire up to 4.2 mm. Forged from chrome vanadium steel with a black atramentized corrosion-resistant finish, this 200 mm cutter features plastic-coated handles that ensure a firm, comfortable grip during heavy-duty electrical, assembly, and maintenance jobs.
