Ascend Tools 8 inch Industrial Grade Carbon Steel Shears - Kevlar, Dyneema, Vectran, Spectra, Technora, Nomex, Innegra, Dacron, Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, Best Shears for Splicing

Description

• 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 fabric and Vectran / Dyneema ropes on 1/8 (3 mm) and 5/8 (16mm). The quality of cut at end of life was still quite good
• PORTABILITY: The shears is medium sized (overall length 8 inch / 203 mm, blade length 2-75 inch / 70 mm) and light weight (0.38 lbs / 172.4 grams). The shears are well sized 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 short cuts in sail-making / repair and cutting lines during boat rigging. A popular pair in parachute industry for cutting / trimming Zylon lines

These shears are ideal to cut materials made from aramid and para-aramid fibers such as Kevlar, Dyneema, Vectran, Spectra, Technora, Nomex, Innegra, Dacron and other materials made from fiberglass and carbon fiber in rope, ribbon, thread, tape and fabric form. Its blades are made of high carbon alloy steel from Japan and are infused with Molybdenum and Vanadium (HRC 60~62) through a proprietary manufacturing process to achieve a level of hardness (HV1200) to cut high tech material. It can be used to cut materials made from carbon fiber, glass fiber, plastic, canvas, vinyl, leather, suede, leatherette, nylon, silk, cotton, for upholstery, headliner, cloth, string or other knitted forms. The cutting performance is great across the length of the blade. Quick and accurate trimming can be done with sharp edges. They can also be used to make relief cuts during the lay-up process to fit the reinforcement into the mold. Cut hanging fibers along the cutting edge of the fabric cleanly. Cut fiber thread off the fiber optic cable neatly to install connectors. Also used for splicing all type of halyards, sheets, topping lifts, lazyjacks and control lines.
