Ascend Tools 6-1/4 inch Carbon Steel Shears - Kevlar, Dyneema, Vectran, Spectra, Technora, Nomex, Innegra, Dacron, Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, Fiber Optic Kevlar Shears

• APPLICATIONS: Specially designed to cut Kevlar, Dyneema, Spectra, Vectran, Dacron, Nomex, Technora, Zylon, Innegra, Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, and other high-tensile strength materials for precise, clean and numerous cuts
• SUPERIOR QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Blades are made from high carbon alloy steel from Japan and infused with Molybdenum and Vanadium to achieve a HRC 60-62 level of hardness. Cutting edge hardness HV1200. One blade is micro-serrated blade for maximum hold on the material to ensure a clean and precise cut. Extended tang for efficient force transfer
• PERFORMANCE: These shears have been tested for thousands of cuts on Kevlar 49 and Vectran / Dyneema ropes on 1/8” (3 mm) and 3/8” (10mm). The quality of cut at end of life is still quite good
• PORTABILITY: The shears is small in size (overall length 6.25 inch / 159 mm, blade length 1-5/8 inch / 42 mm) and light weight (4 oz / 113.4 grams). The small and compact design is ideal for storage and for carrying in tool boxes as technicians work in the field or move between job sites
• SAFETY AND COMFORT: Ergonomically designed handles made from TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) for a non-slip and comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue and strain during repetitive use. The handles are ambidextrous
• MARKET SEGMENTS: Aviation, Avionics, Automotive, Electrical, Fiber Optics, Marine, Alarm & Security, Sports, Ropes / Netting, Parachute Manufacturing, Medical Device Manufacturing, and Military. Ideal for applications in fiber optic cable assembly, splicing, termination, and repair; making it a must-have tool for telecommunications and IT professionals. Also favored in sail-making / repair and boat rigging. A popular pair in parachute industry for cutting / trimming Zylon lines. It has also been used to cut / repair Dyneema lines in fishing
