The Plato 170 Plato shear cutter offers precise, reliable cutting action at an economical price. A thin-profile handle and lightweight design are ideal for smaller hands. A Plato shear cutter has a thin profile designed for those hard-to-reach areas in electronic assembly. Assemblers love the effortless shearing action, comfort, lightweight, and safety for electronics lead and wire cutting. A Plato lead cutter uses the shear cutting method, which requires 50% less operator effort and extends cutting life because it shears rather than pinches. The handles are cushioned for all-day comfort and automatically spring back to their original position after each use.
