• Faster 90 deg blade to handle design, use "pushing" away from body or "pulling" toward body, use "blades up" or "blades down"
• Easier ergonomically superior design, improves wrist range motion, use without changing positions by changing hands, ideal for use in confined spaces
• Safer positions hand above material, patented handle design provides secure grip and protects hand from working surface, latch keeps blades safely closed when snip is not in use
• Longest-lasting cutting edge, blades are hot drop-forged of molybdenum alloy steel and austemper heat-treated
• Strongest blades, hot drop-forged process uses grain structure of steel to produce maximum strength
• Optimum serrations, blades serrated 40 serrations per in grip material without scarring
• Highest quality components, grade 8 blade pivot bolt and heavy-duty double-overwind spring are unconditionally guaranteed
• Compound leverage multiplies handle force to cutting blades by 8:1 power ratio
• Strongest handles, high-tensile strength steel will not bend from hand pressure and provides most efficient conversion of hand force to cutting power
• Comfortable handle grips, thick textured santoprene grips comfort user's hand and prevent steel handles from wearing through
• Easiest used in right hand
