Sterling 29-701 185mm Black Panther Industrial Snips

The Sterling Black Panther 185mm industrial snip, listed by Sterling as The Original, has black comfort grip ergonomically designed handles and stainless steel serrated edge blades for increased cutting capacity (manufacturer-stated). This page lists a single snip (29-701) and a pack of 12 in vending packaging (29-701B).

Sterling lists the snip for wire netting, light gauge aluminium, carpet, leather and Kevlar, describes it as a knife replacement tool, and lists a nylon holster, code STC65, as available (manufacturer-stated). The Black Panther range catalogue marks the blades HRC53 on the Rockwell hardness scale.

In the Black Panther selection chart (range catalogue Edition 25) the 29-701 and 29-701B share one column, ticked for the same applications as the 200mm long cut snip: aluminium, plastic, copper, galvanized or tin, rubber and leather sheet, Kevlar, rope up to 10mm, carpet, aluminium and copper wires, copper stranded conductor (3C x 2mm²) and power cables (5.5mm²). The single snip is carded; the 29-701B comes in a polybag vending pack, and both are listed with a box quantity of 12.
