Underwater Rope Cutter

OVERVIEW

The HTS Underwater Rope Cutter is a remote-operated, pneumatic cutting tool designed for precise and reliable severing of rope, cord, or similar synthetic line in submerged environments. Integrated with a heavy-duty Milwaukee™ cutting head and driven by a stainless-steel pneumatic cylinder, this tool ensures controlled, hands-free operation from a safe distance — ideal for spent fuel pool, reactor cavity, or underwater maintenance applications.

KEY FEATURES
