Ascend Tools 5.75 inch Shears – Cuts High Performance Materials Kevlar Spectra Technora and Composite

These 5-3/4" shears are ideal to cut materials made from aramid, para-aramid fibers and composite materials such as Kevlar®, Dyneema®, Vectran®, Spectra®, Technora®, Nomex®, Innegra®, Zylon®, Dacron® and other blends 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 through a proprietary manufacturing process to achieve a level of hardness (HRC 60~62, HV1200) to cut high tech materials. The ergonomically designed ear-shaped grips deliver more power with reduced fatigue and wrist strain - particularly in repetitive cutting. The grips are designed to easily fit in the power portion of the hand to produce cleaner cut with less effort. These shears 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, sheet, filament, string or other knitted forms. To cut composite-grade materials is a very difficult task. These 6-1/4" shears are meant for precise and clean cuts into the material. They can be used to make relief cuts during the lay-up process so reinforcements precisely fit in the mold. Or cut stubborn threads hanging off the edge of fabric. Or make small cuts for intricate parts. The cutting performance is great across the length of the blade; in fact, the blades cut all the way to the tips for quick and accurate trimming. 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. Also used for splicing all type of halyards, sheets, topping lifts, lazyjacks and control lines. Cut fiber thread off the fiber optic cable neatly when installing connectors.
