It is available in three different models: the standard 2175, the 2175F with a lead retainer that keeps cut pieces of wire from flying, and the 2175AS with ESD safe grips for protection against static discharge.

Proper Xuron® Tools Care
A commenter on a public modeling forum complained that the tools he was using were rusting and they had lost their keen edge as well as smooth action. Further discussion revealed that he lived in an area that was very humid year-round and that his workshop wasn’t well ventilated or air conditioned. This probably is the reason for corrosion on his tools, but it could have been easily avoided.
