CLAUSS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CLAUSS from 3G Electric.
What blade materials are available in CLAUSS scissors and shears?
CLAUSS offers blades in steel, stainless steel, and titanium-bonded coatings. Steel blades provide a standard cutting edge for general use. Stainless steel blades offer corrosion resistance for environments where moisture or chemicals are present. Titanium-bonded blades have a hard coating that reduces friction and extends blade life when cutting abrasive materials like tape, adhesives, or Velcro. The choice depends on the material being cut and the required durability.
Are CLAUSS scissors and shears suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, all CLAUSS scissors and shears listed by 3G Electric are ambidextrous. The handles are symmetrically designed to accommodate both left- and right-handed operators without requiring a specific handed model. This simplifies inventory management and ensures that any user can operate the tool effectively.
What is the difference between straight, serrated, and partially serrated blades on CLAUSS tools?
Straight blades provide a clean, continuous cut and are ideal for materials like fabric, paper, or thin plastics. Serrated blades have a saw-tooth edge that grips material, preventing slippage when cutting slippery or fibrous items such as tape or rope. Partially serrated blades combine a straight edge near the pivot for precise cuts and a serrated section near the tip for tougher materials. CLAUSS offers all three configurations to match specific cutting tasks.
Can CLAUSS wire cutters handle materials other than wire?
Yes, the CLAUSS Wire Cutter (MPN 33503) is specified for cutting wooden branches in addition to wire. The stainless steel blades and spring-assisted design provide the leverage needed for cutting through small-diameter branches and similar materials. However, it is not intended for heavy-duty pruning or industrial cable cutting; it is designed for light to medium cutting tasks in maintenance and repair settings.
What applications are CLAUSS fabric shears designed for?
CLAUSS fabric shears, such as the 8-inch model with titanium-bonded blades (MPN 18543), are designed for cutting fabrics, upholstery, and materials like Velcro. The titanium-bonded coating reduces friction and prevents adhesive buildup, making them suitable for cutting through sticky or abrasive textiles. They are commonly used in upholstery, auto trim, and garment manufacturing where clean, straight cuts are required.
How do I select the correct CLAUSS scissors for cutting electrical tape?
For cutting electrical tape, the CLAUSS Electricians Scissors (MPN 12700) are specifically designed for this application. They feature serrated steel blades that grip the tape and prevent it from slipping during cutting. The 5-inch overall length provides control for precise cuts in tight spaces. If you need to cut tape along with other materials like wire insulation, a model with titanium-bonded blades may offer longer edge life.
