Manchester, NH — Utility equipment: BURNDY® welcomes a new scissor-style cutting tool to its line of cutters. The PATMDCUT series of cutters will begin shipping in March 2013. These cutting tools are built on the reliable IN-LINE® platform and allows for both cutting and crimping using the appropriate attachment. Crimp jaw and cutter jaw assemblies as well as replacement blade sets are available separately.

This utility tool employs a scissor cutting action shearing the conductor as the blades cut. The blades are designed to cut an array of conductor materials including copper, aluminum, ACSR, and even EHS guy strand. This cutter features a retractable blade guide (pictured below) ensuring an efficient cut with true one-handed operation.

The PATMDCUT cutting tools are available utilizing either the Li-Ion or Ni-MH battery power source. BURNDY is one of the only major manufacturers committed to supplying and servicing both battery types offering a choice of power source to better suit individual customers’ needs.
