This is a quick presentation of FACOM Side cutters No 192, this tool was purchased by my father prior 1985.
Within 2020 I did a web search about it and make the discovery that this is Side cutters for piano wire that is the toughest material.

1) Cutting edges designed to cleanly cut through all types of wire: piano wire, soft wires, modern materials, etc
2) Minimum cutting force thanks to long lever arm and offset axis
3) High durability thanks to Chrome-Molybdenum-Vanadium steel (hard cutting edges: 61/63 HRC)

It is interesting that this tool has a slight damage, but not at the cutter jaws, while such type of damage it looks suspicious I am now thinking that it was caused by a free fall to cement than when cutting something with it.

I am not going to claim LIFE time FACOM warranty, this vintage cutter it is now more expensive than any New as this is loaded with invaluable memories.  :)

Enjoy the pictures !!
