The Wiss All-Purpose Cutter makes quick work of cardboard, shingles, wire mesh, sheet metal, sheet vinyl, and so much more. Its slim textured cushion grip handles fit comfortably in smaller hands and its compound action design multiplies the force applied by 5X for easy operation, even when cutting tough materials. Extra long 3-inch blades are chrome plated to resist rust and corrosion, and are serrated to grab and hold onto material being cut. Cutters are spring loaded for faster, easier cutting.
