Sea-Dog Economy Handheld Rope Cutter and Soldering Gun, 120V/100W, Cuts and Heat Seals Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene, and Dacron Line

The Sea-Dog Economy Handheld Rope Cutter and Soldering Gun (300097-3) is a corded electric tool built to cut and heat seal nylon, polyester, polypropylene, and Dacron cordage and webbing in one step. Its replaceable blade heats to 700 degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Celsius), melting through synthetic line and fusing the cut end so it will not fray or unravel. Because the same tool doubles as a soldering gun, it ships with both a replaceable blade and a soldering tip so it can be switched from rope-cutting duty to soldering work as needed.

The tool is constructed of steel and plastic and runs on a 100 watt, 120 volt AC power supply through a 4 foot cord, and it is UL listed. It can handle rope up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter. This makes it a practical choice for boat owners, riggers, and canvas or webbing shops that need a fast, clean way to trim and finish synthetic line ends without a separate cutting tool and lighter or torch. A replacement blade is sold separately under Sea-Dog part number 300098-1 for when the original blade wears out.
