Plato Model 170 Wire Shear / Cutter
The Model 170 is a general purpose flush cutter for trimming through hole leads and wires. It is capable of cutting copper wire as large as 18AWG (0.040"/1.0mm). Its ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue and reduces operator effort up to 50%.
1. Cut leads can fly with high velocity when cut. The Model 170 cutters do not have any safety features. You should always take eye safety precautions when using these cutters. If you want a cutter with a safety guard to prevent lead fly-off look at our Model 175 cutters. Point the leads being cut in a safe direction, NOT towards anybody else. If you do not normally wear glasses, wearing safety grasses is strongly recommended while using these.
