Marples Keeps Chiseling Its Way To The Top
Irwin Industrial Tool Company, the country's leading manufacturer of hand tools and power tool accessories, has made two new additions to its Marples range of next generation chisels.
Already recognised as 'the' industry name for tin snips with the Gilbow brand, Irwin's new range is set to further increase its market leading position.
The new design of this comprehensive range boasts optimised torsion springs for consistent and smooth operation, increased reliability and durability.
In product research and developments, exhaustive testing showed that some 500,000 cutting cycles could be undertaken without failures occurring to the spring mechanism.
Further features include Irwin's precision cold-formed blade design ensuring ease of use and increased longevity, as well as guaranteeing cuts to the very tip.
Manufactured from carbon tool steel, Irwin's Aviation and Offset Snips have a cutting capacity much greater than that of the individual user, as high strength alloy steel spines enable the snips to sustain extra pressure.
Tests indicate that for most people the comfortable limit is 18 gauge mild-steel and 23 gauge stainless steel or their equivalents, the new range meets these limits, providing the ideal metal cutting solution for numerous materials.
Jonathan Fish, Product Manager for Irwin explained: "Through extensive research of end-users it is clear that there is a need for time-saving tools with enhanced control and lifespan.
In exhaustive product testing during research and development, it was impossible to wear out our new Aviation and Offset snips.
"The new snips are certainly set to make life much easier for anyone involved in metal cutting and fabrication, especially where speed and utmost accuracy are of paramount importance.".
