According to DIN ISO 5746, this tool is designed for intensive continuous use. It features a high leverage for easier handling and induction-hardened precision cutting edges. The extra-long cutting edge has a hardness of 62 - 64 HRC, making it suitable for both round and flat materials as well as all types of wires, including hard wire and piano wire up to 1.6 mm. Made from GEDORE special steel that is hardened and tempered, it is produced through forging, oil-hardened, and annealed. The tool has chrome-plated components with two-component grip covers that provide non-slip handles in steel gray and blue. It requires 35% less effort, and the gripping surface has a file structure for particularly effective hold. The coarse-toothed gripping surfaces ensure secure handling of screws, pipes, and more.
