Sharp cutting tool. Keep the blades locked when not in use. Not for sale to under-18s.
Window and Door Gasket Cutting
These gasket shears provide a compact way to trim rubber seals during window and door repair or installation. A clean, accurately placed cut helps when preparing replacement gasket to the required length. Use the serrated blade to help control the material rather than pulling the seal tight as you cut.
Check the Seal Before Cutting
Match the replacement gasket profile to the existing fitting before cutting it to length. Measure carefully and follow the seal supplier’s fitting method, especially at corners and joints. Do not assume one gasket profile fits every window or door. Check that the material sits within the cutting area and avoid forcing the blades through unsuitable sections.
