Xcelite's 170MN Shearcutter flush cutting tools require less than half the operator force of most wire and lead cutting tools and transmit proportionately less shock to the component. As a result, they comply with MIL-STD-2000, DODSTD-2000 and WS-6536E standards. Grips are molded of wide, shock absorbing material for operator comfort, however, safety glasses are still recommended when using these tools.
