IDEAL Redefines Wire Stripping Technology with Revolutionary Kinetic Super Wire Stripper
-- Hand Tool Offers Ergonomic Santoprene® Grip for Easier Wire Work & Reduced Stress, Plus Ingenious Thumb-Valley Guide To Prevent Injury & Improve Accuracy --
SYCAMORE, IL, January 22, 2002 ? Representing a major step forward in the area of hand tools, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC., today introduced its Kinetic Super, a professional-grade wire stripper that merges a suite of cutting-edge features to deliver the ultimate in comfort, performance and safety. Smartly engineered to make the job of today's electrician easier, it is available in a wide variety of designs for accurately cutting and stripping all common wire gauges, as well as for cleanly slicing through bolts and screws.
"Our new Kinetic Super Wire Stripper is a prime example of IDEAL's continued ability to integrate innovation across the hand tool category," commented Bruce Hartranft, Business Unit Manager at IDEAL. "While others are talking about meeting the needs of the professional electrician, IDEAL is doing it by designing products from the ground up that set new standards and that move the industry as a whole forward."
A NEW BENCHMARK FOR COMFORT
The Kinetic Super Wire Stripper creates a striking impression with its molded, ergonomic Santoprene® grip and Thumb-Valley Finger Guide. The cushioned, textured grip naturally cradles the user's hand, reducing muscle fatigue while also wicking away bothersome perspiration. In addition, the grip is wider than those found on other strippers so there is noticeably less impact on the palm.
IDEAL addresses the common problem of "Rivet Rash", a painful condition caused by pressing on exposed rivets, by incorporating its exclusive Thumb-Valley thumb guide into the Kinetic Super Wire Stripper. The Thumb-Valley is located so the user's thumb fits comfortably in place without coming in contact with rivets or a hard steel surface. Moreover, this design helps concentrate kinetic energy where it is needed most < the push zone. The result is improved stripping accuracy and reduced hand fatigue.
Also contributing to the uniqueness of this stripper is its Pocket-Locket Locking Hasp. This feature, found only on IDEAL tools, promotes safe handling and storage. The Pocket-Locket automatically slides to lock the Kinetic Super Wire Stripper into the engagement position when placed into a pocket, whether the user is right or left handed.
POCKET-SIZED POWERHOUSE
Although compact and lightweight, the Kinetic Super Wire Stripper
doesn't sacrifice size for performance. It makes cutting and stripping stranded or solid wire effortless with its hardened steel blades, stripping holes and handle shafts. By employing the stripper's Shear - Cut bolt cutting capability, users will cut #6-32 or #8-32 bolts with a third less effort than with conventional units. Shear-Cut also conveniently re-threads the cut end.
