Product Description

The CRESCENT 2690GP-02 is a steel strap cutter designed for cutting metal banding and strapping in trade and industrial applications. It features a rounded point style blade with a black oxide finish, a blade length of 2.5 inches, and a blade thickness of 0.87 inches. The tool measures 24.5 inches in overall length, 7 inches in height, and 2.4 inches in width, weighing 5.93 pounds. The ambidextrous design accommodates both right- and left-handed users.

Installation Notes

This tool is operated by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors during equipment handling and installation tasks. Always inspect the blade for wear or damage before use and ensure the cutting zone is clear of hands and body parts.
