Xuron® tools are a staple among DIY enthusiasts, crafters, hobbyists, and industrial users alike. Renowned for their precision and durability, these tools often raise questions among their users. In this FAQ edition, we’ll address the most frequently asked questions about Xuron® tools, providing you with insights to enhance your tool-using experience and ensure you get the most out of your investment.
The Blades of My Xuron® Cutter Don’t Line Up. Is This a Defect?
If you notice that the blades of your Xuron® Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter don’t perfectly align, rest assured that this is by design, not a defect. Xuron Corporation employs a unique bypass-cutting method where one blade slightly bypasses the other. This technique results in cleaner, flatter cuts as opposed to the compression cuts from traditional wire cutters. The innovative design also extends the longevity of the cutters as the blades don’t wear against each other as much.
