• Convex handle shape for a high force build-up* • Acc. to DIN ISO 5749 • With slender head - ideal for confined spaces • Induction-hardened precision cutting edges, hardness 63 - 65 HRC • For medium-hard wire, 1.6 mm • GEDORE special hardened and tempered steel, drop-forged, oil-hardened and annealed * Crowned surfaces/handles - i.e. which are hardly rounded - prevent unfavourable, punctual peak forces. As a result, the force is evenly spread across your hand.
