Genesis Cutters

Genesis Hydraulic Cutter being used for auto extrication

The cutter is the primary tool for cutting roof posts, and hinges if necessary. All of our standard Genesis cutters are capable of cutting some high strength materials. Genesis’ Boron Capable program distinguishes cutters that can cut the toughest of the Ultra High Strength Steel found in cars today. The Blade Lubrication System found in Genesis cutters is a great tool in keeping blades properly lubricated for a long life. D-Ring Handles on Genesis cutters rotate 360 degrees, and can quickly and easily be removed for confined space use. For safety and ease of use Genesis cutters are operated using their patented push-button control.
