Blades on industrial sites are accidents waiting to happen. From mining to manufacture, from food production to trades, ‘cutting edge’ can mean far more than a handy blade!
It should be easy, right? Reach for the penknife, scissors or tape cutter. A quick slice and the job’s done.
But in hot, dark, dusty and inaccessible places – typical in factories, construction sites, agriculture, logistics and mines across Australia – a heap of things can go wrong.
- Thick or blunt blades can make inaccurate cuts.
- Clumsy handles mean user fatigue.
- Slippery handles increase the risk of cuts.
- Exposed or moving blades are a hazard.
- Dark-coloured blades get lost or mishandled.
- Blades cut a limited range of materials.
In the warehouse, underground, on the factory floor, you’re struggling. You need a durable, premium quality, ultra-safe blade, capable of making precision cuts in multiple applications. You need the Sterling Black Panther Industrial Snips.
