AirShirz Industrial Pneumatic Scissors from Bettcher Increase Worker Productivity Through Reduced Hand Stress.Business Editors BIRMINGHAM, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2003 AirShirz(R) industrial pneumatic scissors scissors Cutting instrument or tool consisting of a pair of opposed metal blades that meet and cut when the handles at their ends are brought together. Modern scissors are of two types: the more usual pivoted blades have a rivet or screw connection between the cutting ends from Bettcher Industries increase worker productivity while reducing muscle fatigue. Lightweight yet powerful, AirShirz provides precise cutting and trimming of rubber, composite materials composite material or composite, any material made from at least two discrete substances, such as concrete. Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass-reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the , Kevlar(R) and many other materials. The design of AirShirz(R) pneumatic scissors is uniquely "hand-friendly," requiring fully 90% less muscle activity to operate compared to using manual scissors.
