CrV Steel – Durability, Resistance, and Reliability

The blades and the working part of the cutter are made of steel CrV, a chromium-vanadium steel valued in hand tools for its high mechanical strength.This is particularly important for cable cutters, because the tool subjects the cutting jaws to high loads while cutting cables.The durable material helps maintain performance and extends the tool's service life.

CrV steel performs well in tools used regularly by plumbers, electricians, and service technicians.For the user, this means greater confidence in the tool while working and a lower risk of rapid wear and tear when used properly.The DEDRA 12P021 wire cutter is designed for copper and aluminum wires; therefore, it should be used as intended to ensure the best cut quality.
