PLATO 170 5.1 Inch (131mm) Platoshear Cable Cutters
Thin-profile PLATO cable cutters for electronics. 5.1-inch shearing action for effortless, flush cuts on copper wire in tight spaces.
The PLATO 170 Platoshear Cutter is an essential tool designed for intricate electronic assembly and maintenance work. Its 5.1-inch (131mm) length and exceptionally thin profile allow it to access and work efficiently in confined, hard-to-reach spaces where bulkier cutters simply cannot fit.
Assemblers and technicians appreciate the effortless shearing action, which requires up to 50% less operator effort compared to traditional pinch-cut methods. This innovative shearing technique not only reduces hand fatigue but also extends the tool's cutting life by cleanly slicing through materials without causing damage or deformation to the wire. The handles are ergonomically cushioned for all-day comfort and feature an automatic spring return, readying the tool for the next cut instantly.
Crafted for high-precision tasks, these cutters deliver a clean, flush cut on electronic leads and wires, which is critical for creating reliable solder joints and connections. The lightweight design, combined with the safety-focused shearing method, makes them ideal for delicate electronic components, minimising the risk of accidental damage or short circuits.
