T.I. are professional straight shape branch cutters.The cavity in the blade reduces friction. The movement assisted by the lever mechanism with “S” tie-rod allows The linkage-assisted, “S”-shaped linkage movement allows cutting of branches up to 45 mm in diameter, decreasing the effort and without shock to the operator. The special construction of these branch cutters provide a better handle opening/cutting capability ratio. The handles of the T.I. are made of extruded aluminum with an oval cross-section, capable of withstanding large stresses. The handles are made of oval shaped extruded aluminum with anodized surface capable of supporting extreme tension. The blade and “S” tie-rod (with bush), made of a high percentage carbon steel, are hot-forged.The hot-forged light aluminum counter-blade has a lifetime guarantee against breakage. Just like all the other pruning tools manufactured by Castellari, these branch cutters are also completely interchangeable.
