Review: Excellent cutters even for seniors with grip and hand issues! - Well built and extremely effective and easy to use. Cuts binding flat cable like butter and feels great in hand. Super easy to use even for two seniors with grip and hand issues. Would trust this company for other products. Review: High quality tool! - Very impressed with the quality. I work for a Bobcat dealer and we all share this tool. 6months in and it still cuts through steel straps like its plastic. Much better than expected! Keep the tension on the pivot bolt and it will last forever. It does have a locking nut. I only had to tighten a tiny bit after the paint wore down in-between the two halfs as the tool was broken in. Handles grips are not the kind that will slip off or move. In short this gets all day use for six months and a small child could still cut steel straps easily. ## Features - BEST IN CLASS HEAVY DUTY CUTTER H-230 is a manual tool with wide blades suitable for cutting the steel, polyester (PET), or polypropylene (PP) banding from 3/4 inch to 1 1/4 inches width and up to 0.044 inch thickness.
