Wire Cutting Shears Tvardy Cr-Mo 24" (600 mm) — hardened cutting blades

Tvardy wire cutting shears, 24" (600 mm), are hand-operated cutting pliers made from chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy and fitted with hardened cutting blades. The tool is designed for manual cutting of wire, reinforcing wire, light metal rod and similar materials in workshop, construction and maintenance environments. The 600 mm length provides increased leverage for cutting thicker or tougher wires while the hardened blades improve wear resistance and maintain cutting performance over time.

Advantages

The Cr-Mo alloy construction offers a balance of strength and toughness while keeping the tool relatively lightweight for its size. Hardened cutting blades extend service life and reduce the need for frequent sharpening. The long handles increase cutting leverage, enabling efficient manual cutting of medium-gauge wire with less effort. The tool’s simple, durable design requires minimal maintenance and is suitable for routine workshop and construction tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel wire and reinforcing wire on construction sites
• Trimming wire and light metal rod in workshops
• Maintenance tasks involving manual cutting of cables and ties
• Outdoor fence or mesh repairs where hand cutting is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 24" (600 mm)
• Material: chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy
• Blade finish: hardened cutting edges for improved wear resistance
• Intended use: manual cutting of wire, light metal rod and similar materials
• Design: long-handle shears for increased leverage

How to use

Position the wire between the cutting blades at the point where the cut is required, then apply steady, even pressure to the handles until the blades cut through the material. For thicker or harder wires, apply firm controlled pressure and, if necessary, reposition the wire to cut progressively rather than forcing a single full cut. Keep hands clear of the cutting zone and ensure a stable stance when using the long handles to avoid slipping. After use, wipe blades clean and store the shears in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when cutting wire. Do not use the tool on hardened steel wire beyond its intended capacity or for prying. Periodically inspect the blades for wear and, if required, have them professionally sharpened or replaced to maintain safe and effective cutting performance.
