170-II Series shears offer numerous ergonomic enhancements in an “economically priced” tool. Their effort-reducing Micro-Shear cutting action requires only about half the effort to cut a wire as that required by conventional compression-type cutters. The 170-II Series feature advanced ergonomic shape, Xuro-Rubber grips, a glare eliminating black finish, light weight and our patented, lifetime warranted, Light Touch The Original Micro-Shear Flush Cutter. Invented over 40 years ago and awarded US Patent 3774301 for it's unique Micro-Shear blade by pass cutting method. Ultra slim profile increases access into high density areas. Rated for cutting soft wire up to 18 AWG (1mm) Xuron Micro-Shear flush cutters ensure durability by design. Let's use a little basic physics to illustrate how: If you generate 10 pounds of pressure on the grips of a conventional, compression type wire cutter to cut a wire, that 10 pounds of force must be dissipated somewhere (Law of Conservation of Energy). Part of it is dissipated into the severed section of wire, which is why it sails across the room. A portion travels down the lead wire and is dissipated into the component or solder joint, which is what the military gets upset about. The balance is dissipated into the opposing cutting edge of the cutter, which is why they get dull. Using a Micro-Shear flush cutter requires only about half the pressure (approximately 5 pounds) to cut the same wire. Part of the force is dissipated into the severed section of the wire, but if you are using our patented lead retainer the wire won't sail across the room. Because of our shearing cut, very little is dissipated into the component or solder joint, which keeps the military happy and the rest is dissipated into the opposing cutting jaw. Because of our blade by-pass, edge to edge contact is eliminated and the life of our Micro-Shear flush cutter's precision cutting edges is extended.
