The C12 cutter features shear-type jaws with Felco's patented "triangular cut" system designed to slice through wire rope smoothly -- without crushing.
Long handles and relatively short jaws produce high leverage and cutting power. Maximum cutting diameter will vary with metal hardness.
The C12 has hardened steel blades and center bolt, and unbreakable forged aluminum alloy handles (lifetime guarantee) with comfortable plastic covering for a good grip.
