Lindström’s Rx8132 Diagonal Cutter features a smaller head for working in tighter spaces and Ultra-Flush® cutting edges. The cutting edges are only 0.330” (8.5 mm) long. Lindström uses 1% carbon/chrome ball-bearing-grade steel in manufacturing their top-of-the-line Rx series Cutters and Pliers. Computer controlled grinding of forged blanks guarantees edge angle accuracy and contact which increases tool reliability and consistency. Precision induction hardening provides high Rockwell hardness (63-65 HRC) without brittleness, increasing tool life. Adjustable screw joint minimizes friction and maximizes alignment of cutting edges. Like all Rx Series Lindström pliers, ESD-safe grips are slightly rounded and wide for optimal surface distribution and contact. Rx pliers also feature Lindström’s exclusive, patent pending BioSpring that keeps its tension minimal and limited throughout its range of compression. Spring tension is also adjustable, and the spring is removable. The cutting capacity shown in the table below is for copper wire.
Ultra-Flush Cut The precisely aligned and specially designed radii of the cutting edges produce a lead end that is almost entirely flat, with a barely discernable separating line. The only trade-off is a more limited cutting range.
