HARDENED INDUSTRIAL SHEARS

How industrial scissors are manufactured for the toughest applications

In order to equip the Ernest Wright industrial shears for the most demanding cutting tasks, extremely durable steel must be used. The hardness of the steel is measured using the Rockwell hardness test method by pressing the forging of the shears through a diamond body under load. This provides information about the hardness and performance of the steel of the industrial shears.

Robust carbon steel for maximum performance

Ernest Wright's industrial scissors are made of carbon steel, a widely used type of steel that consists of iron and carbon. As the carbon content increases, the tensile strength and hardness of steel increases, while the ductility decreases. This type of steel is ideal for tools that have to withstand high loads. The industrial scissors are therefore also suitable for processing robust and tough materials.

What should be considered when caring for industrial scissors

You should always clean your industrial scissors thoroughly after use. Store them in a dry place, away from moisture. Occasionally you can oil the screw area with a drop of household oil or machine oil. This will help keep the scissors supple. But make sure you don't turn the screw - it is firmly fixed.

Which materials can be processed with Ernest Wright industrial scissors?

The industrial scissors have already been tested with many relevant sample materials. These include many fabric samples, denim, neoprene or even hard plastic. The scissors have also been used to cut Kevlar, a technical fabric used to make bulletproof vests.
