Leatherman wire cutter question

[Charlie_K]

So the Rebar comes with replaceable hard wire cutters made from 154CM. But what kind of hard wire can they cut without breaking? What type of gauge of hard wire are we talking?

On youtube there are videos of an ST300 cutting a big nail, though I've never tried it myself. The Rebar cutters are the same or similar.

A nail?? Wow. I have cut some copper wire, but haven't tried anything harder than that! Oh yes, and I cut a couple of zip ties as well. Of course, thats only a Blast.

I've cut through mattress springs with my ST300, and a penny with my Rebar. Finishing nails were no problem with either.
