Plato Shear Cutter
High precision lead cutter
The Plato 170 Plato shear cutter offers precise, reliable cutting action at an economical price. Its 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 they shear rather than pinch.
