Hand Cutting Tools

Hand tools for cutting, on site, in the workshop and in maintenance: utility knives, scissors, shears, hacksaws, glass cutters and replacement blades for the various materials.

Types available

• Utility knives and trimming knives, also with replacement blades included (Fervi, Pavan).
• Scissors and tinsnips for paper, fabric and sheet metal (Fervi, Vigor, DeWalt).
• Hacksaws and blades, including bi-metal blades for hacksaws and Japanese saws (Unifix, Fervi, DeWalt).
• Glass cutters and cable cutters with insulated handle (Metrica, Pavan).

How to choose

Start from the material to be cut: paper and plasterboard, sheet metal, glass, electrical cables. Then consider how easy it is to change the blades, the grip and, for work on installations, the insulation of the handle.

Replacement blades and accessories belong to the same family: replacing the worn blade is more practical than changing the tool and keeps the cut clean. For work near electrical installations it is preferable to use tools with insulated handles.
