SHEARCUTTERS & PLIERS
Electronic Shearcutters and Pliers
Total Operator
Force = Less Than 1/2 F Total Operator Force = F
In shearcutting, one edge acts as an anvil while the other edge
shears off the lead.
• Xcelite’s Shearcutter flush cutting tools require
less than half the operator force of most wire and lead
cutting tools and transmit propor tionately less shock to
the component
• As a result, they comply with MIL-STD-2000, DOD-
STD-2000 and WS-6536E standards
• Grips are molded of wide, shock absorbing material for
operator comfor t
• Models 175 and 2178 incor porate safety clips which
effectively eliminate flying leads
• However, safety glasses are still recommended when
using these tools
