The Strainrite HT Wire Cutters (model FKX00060) are a specialized tool designed for cutting high-tensile (HT) fencing wire, commonly used in agricultural, farm, and rural fencing applications. They stand out for their robust construction tailored to thick, hard wires that standard cutters can't handle effectively
Primarily for high-tensile electric or stock fencing, but also suitable for general wire work like repairs, installations, or trimming in horticulture and landscaping
Handles wires up to 4-5mm diameter (equivalent to 8 gauge hard HT wire)
Curved, notched jaws optimized for gripping and severing wire
Forged from high-strength steel; requires lubrication of joints (e.g., 3-in-One oil) and proper wire insertion (square to edge, at back of jaw).
