Very effective, without strength

This is a fantastic product which is saving us heaps of time cutting our cables, so easy to use

does what it should, one-handed operation possible

I still not use it, I hope that will work useful or that I never use it.

Very good quality and compact design. The ratchet technique is also ensured that you really cut the Want in an emergency!

Very good scissors. Had to try it on a foreign ship shortly after buying it.

It should be able to cut Wantendraht to 10mm. I have tried this with a leftover piece of Hamburger rope factory. It's just that way. In the test, it is important not only to cut 2 centimeters from the end of a piece (while flying the individual cut cardeels one after the other in the room) but \ "in the middle \" to cut, because that is the realistic application case and goes around a lot heavier. \ r \ nWith 10mm wire you need very big hands because you have to open the handles extremely wide to reach the next notch. I can not imagine how to do that with 13mm steel wire. \ R \ nMan needs about 10 - 15 clicks per cut. \ R \ nAfter a cut, your hands hurt and the muscles in your forearm are cramped. In case of emergency, you will certainly develop more power, but cutting every wish and stag of a complete rig in 10mm would be an effort that would not even hold a glass of water and have many bubbles. \ R \ nOn the positive side: \ r \ n- the quality of workmanship looks very good- there is a release with which you can get out of a stuck situation again without throwing away wire and scissors (but I have not tried) - MUCH smaller and MUCH cheaper as a professional device, which is mounted on a workbench stationary. Affordable for normal sailors who normally never use the unit - but not suitable for field-level riggers.

According to Baudat does not cut 20 but only 18mm. One-handed operation not possible. Overall, therefore, misleading presentation in the catalog
