BETA cutting tool

BETA offers this cutting tool. These tools remove material or make a clean cut: trimming a hose or a cable tie, sawing through a rusted bolt, deburring a lever after a crash or lifting an old gasket.

Why a good cutting tool?

The benefits:

• Bi-metal saw blade: hard teeth that cut steel, on a flexible back that does not snap easily.
• Snap-off or replaceable blades depending on the model: a fresh edge in a few seconds.
• Files in different cuts (bastard, second cut, smooth): remove material fast, then finish cleanly.

Why choose BETA?

BETA (Beta Utensili) is an Italian maker of professional tools founded in 1923, based in Sovico, near Milan, since 1939 and still run by the Ciceri family. The group makes its tools in its own factories in northern and central Italy.

When should you replace this tool?

A dull or chipped blade, a file that slides instead of biting, worn saw teeth: replace the blade or the tool, otherwise you have to force it and it slips.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part number: 011440050

Cross-Mania tip: Always cut with the blade moving away from you and, on an aluminium gasket face, keep the scraper or file flat: a scratch in the metal is enough to cause a leak.

Compatibility
