9000 Series Micro-Shear® flush cutters begin with a unique, state of the art blanking process from a tough alloyed steel. Their size and shape reflect the latest advances in enhanced ergonomics. The heat treating process is exclusive to the 9000 Series. Cutting edges are an ultra durable 58-60 RC. The result is a shear unlike any other in design, capacity and durability. Static control (AS) grips are optionally available
