Black Panther Snips: A Knife Replacement for Every Industry

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.

Slicing through workplace problems

The Sterling Black Panther Industrial Snips cut pretty much anything, any time! The serrated blade, made of Japanese steel, does an excellent job for miners, fabricators, welders, boiler makers and transport workers – from heavy industry to construction.
