C-260 Cutter

The New Tyrannosaurus/T-Rex Cutter

The T-Rex cutters were designed to cut heavier reinforcing on newer cars.  The T-Rex cutter can easily cut through side impact beams and the "A" posts of the newer roll cage vehicle frame systems.  The T-Rex cutter boast the highest power-to-weight ration of any cutter, of its type, in the market.  All T-Rex cutters are NFPA 1936 compliant.

Extreme Power
Designed to have an extremely high amount of cutting force, the T-Rex allows the rescuer to cut through objects that are untouchable by most cutters using 110,000 lbs. of force.

Extreme Opening
Available in opening up to 10 inches, the T-Rex allows most "B" and "C" posts to be removed with a single cut.  The longer blades allow the tools to cut with less interference from the body of the cutter and make deeper relief cuts.

Two Blade Design
There are two blade designs available for the T-Rex Cutter.  The wide-opening C-260 cutter is ideal for cutting wide posts and making deep relief cuts.  The C-160 cutter has curved blades that wrap around door hinges and steering columns and pull toward the base of the blades, making cutting easier for less experienced personnel.

Rotating and Removable Handle
The T-Rex cutters come with an adjustable and removable "D" shaped handle.  This handle can be rotated 360^o  or completely removed for use in confined spaces.  Being able to rotate the handle allows the cutter to be easily using in any position.  Professional Note:  Most experienced personnel keep the handle slightly loose.  They routinely adjust the handle position throughout a rescue.

Push Button Control
One of the most beneficial features of the T-Rex Cutter is the push button control.  The control is a variable speed device allowing the cutter to be "feathered."  This controls the speed of the cutter when opening and closing.  The control is fitted with a guard to protect the rescuer's hands from obstructions and offers protection to the connecting hoses of the tool.

Over-Pressurization Relief Valve
If the couplers have not been properly engaged or there is a blockage in the return line, preventing the fluid flow back to the unit, a relief in the control handle automatically releases fluid.  This causes a low pressure fluid leak from the hole between the hoses.  The power unit is switched to the neutral position and the couplings can be connected or the blockage removed.  Ordinary tools that do not have this device can literally explode.
