Cable Tie Removal Tool Protects Wire Harnesses, Speeds Rework

Cable Tie Removal ToolA new tool that eliminates knives and box cutters, for rapidly and safely removing cable ties from wire harnesses, without damaging the insulation, has been introduced by ACT Fastening Solutions of Gardner, Massachusetts.

The ACT Cable Tie Removal Tool features a proprietary cutting head design which has smooth, curved tips that slip behind a cable tie to pull it away from the wire harness and simultaneously cut it without nicking or damage. Eliminating the use of knives and box cutters, this ergonomic hand tool can be placed anywhere on the cable tie strap for a fast cut and safe removal.

Providing double insulated and cushioned grips, a return spring, lock, and properly leveraged scissor-action cutter, the rugged ACT Cable Tie Removal Tool is made from heat treated alloy steel. Suitable for retrofitting and repairing wire harnesses in assembly and field service applications, it can safely remove plastic, copper, or aluminum cable ties up to 1/2" wide.

The ACT Cable Tie Removal Tool sells for $46.84 (list). Literature is available upon request. Distributor and dealer inquiries are invited.
