Cut instead of sawing: when utility knives and saws are too coarse – clean, fast, and safe cuts with anvil cutters
Especially in the trades, where cut quality directly affects the result, the stable blade against the anvil offers a noticeable advantage. The workpiece is held securely, the blade works in a defined way, and the cut edge remains burr-free. This creates consistent results – whether on plastic profiles, seals, cable ducts, hoses, or similar materials. Depending on the model, defined cutting performance supports reproducible work – for the universal anvil shear Original LÖWE 1.105 in the INDUSTRIAL range, for example, cutting capacity is 7.5mm, with a cutting length of 40mm, a maximum diameter of 22mm, and a weight of 295g.
The cutters sit securely in the hand and allow stable guidance even with frequent use. This supports precise work and delivers a reliably convincing cutting result over many work cycles. Their robust construction is designed for long use: wear parts can be replaced easily and inexpensively, and spare parts remain permanently available. This creates planning reliability – both for tool inventories in small workshops and in industrial production environments. Even after one million cuts, wear parts can be replaced selectively and the tool can be used consistently further. Original LÖWE sees durability as sustainability: suitable spare parts are still available even for very old cutters – a clear signal against disposable tools.
“A clean, controlled cut with INDUSTRIAL cutters saves time and is safer than a saw or a utility knife. Anvil technology enables consistent results and a consistently clean work environment – even with challenging material,” explains Jürgen Usinger, Product Manager at Original LÖWE.
At Original LÖWE, responsibility is part of everyday work: the family business manufactures in Germany and, in 2025 as well, sources certified green electricity from European renewable energy sources. The 2025 confirmation documents 100% green electricity sourcing in accordance with EU Directive 2018/2001; in addition, around 147 tons less CO₂ per year were produced compared with the average German electricity mix – based on around 459 MWh annual consumption. For transparent procurement, accounting, and delivery, Original LÖWE uses a process certified to TÜV SÜD CMS Standard 93 (Green Book Management).
The brand also demonstrates social commitment with “Starke Löwen e.V.” – Original LÖWE covers the administrative costs so that donations flow directly into projects for children and young people.
In the INDUSTRIAL range, professionals also find a clear overview of models and applications as well as the matching spare parts – for planned use in everyday work.
