Plato® Lead Cutters / Plato® Lead Former

Plato®shears have a thin profile designed for those hard-to-reach areas in electronic assembly. Assemblers love the efforttess shearing action, comfort, light weight, and safety for electronics lead and wire cutting.

Plato®shears use the shear cutting method, which requires 50% less operator effort and extends cutting life because they shear rather than pinch. Handles are cushioned for day long comfort, and automatically spring back to their original position after each use.

  • Erogonomically designed
  • Reduces operator fatigue
  • Required 50% less operator effort
