HURST Jaws of LifeÂ® S 799E2/S 799 cutter offers an 8.03-inch blade opening to get around tougher metals and newer designs in the posts. Available in the HURST Jaws of Life battery-powered eDRAULIC and 10,000-psi lines, the S 799E2 and S 799 reduce tool swing challenges by cutting A and B posts from its easy-to-handle perpendicular angle. It can also complete most B-post cuts with one bite.
