Greenlee Offers New Battery-Powered Cut Steel Tool

Makes cuts in only 4 to 5 seconds per cut

ROCKFORD, Ill. - Greenlee, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, introduces its newest addition to its family of battery-powered cutting tools, the ETS12. This small lightweight tool can be used for cutting a wide variety of mild steel products such as bolts, threaded rod, solid hasp and cable hasp one-time locks, shipping container seals, and many other items.

The ETS12 cuts fast. It only takes about 4 to 5 seconds per cut, and when the cut is complete the ram automatically retracts to be ready for the next cut and there is no need to push another trigger. This tool will make about 100 cuts per battery charge, and it comes with two batteries so the end-user can be charging the second one while still using the tool. A battery charger and molded carrying case is also included.

The 14-3/8 inches long ETS12 is lighter than manual bolt cutters making it easier to position for a cut than a manual cutter. The cutting head rotates 350 degrees. It's compact so you can get into tighter spaces than a manual cutter will allow. Since the tool makes multiple cuts, the battery power makes it much easier on the end-users body.
