The X-Cut is a multi-talented all-rounder. It is compact and light, powerful and highly precise and provided with robust cutting edges. It cuts through finest strands as well as multi-stranded cables and hard piano wire, providing a versatility in industry and crafts. When cutting a medium-hard wire (diameter 3 mm) the X-Cut requires about 40% less effort than a conventional diagonal cutter of the same size. Further user-friendly benefits are provided by the eccentric box-joint construction with easy, zero-backlash movement and large jaw opening as well as a slim head shape for easy access even when working in confined areas.
