C.K takes it to the MAX

C.K tools, the leading supplier of quality tools for professionals, has extended its already popular Combicutter™ range of side-cutters with the addition of the innovative Combicutter MAX™ - a 180mm side-cutter designed specifically for electricians who prefer to work with large format tools.

The launch of the revolutionary Combicutter MAX™ follows in-depth research of the electrical market, which revealed that a substantial 35% of electricians prefer a larger side-cutter. In answer to the market’s needs, C.K tools created the Combicutter MAX™, which not only maintains the unique functionality of the original offering but now features an extra 4mm screw shear for cable trunking screws, making it even easier to strip, bend and shear with just one tool.

The Combicutter MAX™ is available in two formats: the Combicutter1 Max featuring a patress screw shear and cable trunking screw shear, that automatically aligns when the side-cutters

are open, allowing users to cut 3.5 and 4mm screws to length without damaging the threads, and the Combicutter3 Max, which combines the screw shears with wire stripping notches to strip wire effortlessly without causing damage to the wire and a wire bending anvil for doubling back wire quickly and efficiently.

In addition to these pioneering large format side-cutters, C.K tools has optimised its entire Combicutter™ range to reflect the type of work electricians undertake daily, re-engineering the blade geometry coupled with new harder tempered, steel alloy cutting blades, which has resulted in new levels of cutting performance. These best ever cutting blades have been tested by VPA (Versuchs und Prufenstalt), an independent German testing house, and have proven to be best in class at cutting both soft and hard wire in comparison with other leading brands.

 

Nicki Elkin, brand manager, C.K tools, commented: "C.K tools continuously looks to develop its product range for the better good of the end-user. We work closely with a dedicated focus group of tradesmen to ascertain their day-to-day professional needs. By involving end-users in this way we are able to develop the right tool for the job, which is what we have created with the Combicutter MAX™.

“Feedback highlighted a need for a larger format side-cutter and we responded to this with two new additions to our already popular Combicutter™ range, as well as improving the cutting blades on the entire collection to save electricians time and guarantee a quality job done.”
