The Lindstrom HS6000 is a flush, 5.7" multipurpose shear with a non-slip grip and smooth jaws. These are designed to cut tough Kevlar elements used in fiber optic cables and other types of cables. The high-carbon steel blades have a hardness of 57–59 HRC. It has serrations on one edge to prevent the material being cut from sliding away. The precision screw joint minimizes friction and maximizes the alignment of cutting edges. These are user-friendly while optimizing durability and precision. and they fit comfortably in either hand. Non-slip grips are also ESD-safe and provide cushioning and a secure grip. Other applications include cutting insulation, cables, ties, and corded material of all types.
