The hot - riveted joint allows for smooth opening and closing. The molded comfort grips are a game - changer. They have a hard underside for strength and a soft, non - slip, ergonomic exterior for better comfort.

Using the Greenlee 727M cable cutter is straightforward. First, identify the cable you need to cut and make sure it's within the cutter's capacity. Place the cable between the blades and apply firm pressure to cut through it. Remember, this cutter is designed for heavy - duty use, but don't try to cut cables larger than its specified capacity as it may damage the tool. When not in use, keep it in a dry place to prevent rust. If it gets dirty, you can clean it with a dry cloth. Periodically check the blades for any signs of wear. If you notice the cutting performance is declining, it might be time to replace the blades. With proper use and maintenance, your Greenlee 727M cable cutter will serve you well for a long time.
