This shear features the patented Micro-Shear blade by-pass and minimal outside bevel. Cuts small or soft material with virtually no pinch. Cuts to a finished or near finished surface. Convenient Light Touch spring returns shear to its open position after each use. Exclusive Xuro-Rubber grips provide both comfort and the secure grasp required for precise control. For use on soft materials only. Scarring of the edges will result if used to cut paper clips and other hard materials. Cut differs from that provided by the 410T only in terms of smoothness, not in terms of how closely it will cut against an adjacent surface.
