Static-Control Optical Fiber Cutters with Carbide Blades



Cut cleanly through the thin optical fibers found in fiber optic cable, including those protected by Kevlar, without building up electrostatic discharge (ESD). Made of tungsten carbide, the blades on these cutters are the hardest, longest lasting ones in our wire cutter offering. To prevent damage to sensitive components, the grips drain static away from the blades. The spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles. Also known as diagonal-cutting pliers.

Dual Retracting-Blade Utility Knives
Switch from one blade shape to another without carrying multiple knives. These knives hold two blades that you extend or retract with separate slide buttons. Only one blade can be extended at a time—retract it when not in use to prevent accidental cuts. These knives have a curved handle that’s comfortable to hold.

Scraper Utility Knives

Switch between scraping and cutting with these two-in-one knives.
Knives with pivoting blades can scrape or cut at many angles. Loosen the ratchet on the handle to position the blade. The blade works as both a scraping and cutting edge.

Scissors for Kevlar and Abrasive Materials





Cut through the strong fibers of Kevlar. These scissors have at least one serrated edge that grips material to prevent slipping.
Stainless steel blades resist corrosion.
Titanium carbide and titanium nitride (TiN) coated blades resist corrosion and have long-lasting sharpness. Titanium nitride coated blades are also nonstick and three times harder than uncoated steel blades. Chrome plating increases blade durability.
Offset handles keep your hand clear of the material as you cut on flat surfaces. Large handles are more comfortable than standard handles if you’re wearing gloves or have large hands.
Blunt-point tips are rounded to prevent snags and injury.
