Unbreakable Blades Manufactured from hot drop forged moly alloy steel and scientifically heat treated to provide a strong, longer lasting cutting edge. Forged blades are superior to investment cast blades and stamped blades and are a minimum requirement of U.S. Government specifications and ANSI/ASME standards. Blades are serrated at optimum 40 serrations per inch to grip material being cut without making large "teeth marks" on cut edge of material. Full length cut from pinch to point per cutting stroke meeting all ANSI/ASME compression test standards. |

Threaded Centre Bolt Grade 8 centre pivot bolt is threaded into bottom blade and secured with a lock nut to hold blades in adjustment and facilitate blade re-adjustment. Securing the centre pivot in bottom blade is a US Government specification that allows for blade re-adjustment after extensive use which extends cutting life. Properly adjusted blades make any cutting job easier. Blade re-adjustment instructions and printed on the packaging. |

Heavy Duty (double overwind ) Spring The heavy duty double overwind spring is unconditionally guaranteed for the life of the tool. It is superior in strength and performance life to the single coil piano wire used by other manufacturers. |
