The shear’s pointed bottom blade easily pierces duct 

to start the cut. The handy wire cutter is located 

away from the scissor blade edges.  And a thumb- 

operated latch ensures that the blade edges stay 

closed when not in use. Double edged blade cleanly 

pierces through outer skin and fiberglass wool insu-

lation and cuts in either direction around the duct 

circumference.  Use the handy built-in wire cutter to 

cut the hardened wire rib coil. 

Double edged blade cleanly pierces through outer 
skin and fiberglass wool insulation and cuts in either 
direction around the duct circumference.  Use the 
handy built-in wire cutter to cut the hardened wire 
rib coil.  Use the tie tensioning mechanism to install 
a nylon tie strap that secures flex to a take-off collar.  
Use the wire cutter to cut excess nylon tie tail.
