RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA (NOVEMBER 19, 2008) – The Diamond Ripper and Mini Ripper rescue blades now are available for forced entry operations. New from Broco Tactical, the Diamond Ripper races through steel, aluminum, concrete, wood and poly-carbonate and tested successfully on plate armor, ceramics, and high strength metalfiber reinforced concrete.
The Diamond Rippers double-layer vacuum brazed cutting edge yields aggressive cutting on nearly all materials, long blade life, and its smooth performance reduces fatigue. It is light weight to provide less gyroscopic effect and more control. The industry-leading diamond electroplated facing protects the core, reduces heat, prevents binding and increases blade life.
With the Diamond Ripper there is no need to:
• change blades between cutting metal and other materials,
• choose between long blade life and fast cutting speed,
• or compromise high inertial force vs. blade flex and binding.
Diamond Ripper rescue blades are intended for use on gasoline engine powered saws with max rpm of 4500 that have 1 or 20mm diameter arbors. Standard blade diameter is 14. 12 and 16 diameter blades are available. They are economically priced for costeffective performance. The Mini Ripper is a 4.5 diameter diamond rescue blade and offers the same highperformance diamond edge. It can be used with grinders to cut through chains, locks, and door bolts. Max rpm is 13,300. It will fit tools with 5/8 and 7/8 (22mm) arbors. Broco, Inc. is the world leader in exothermic cutting and underwater welding systems. Its sister companies include Rankin Industries, a designer and manufacturer of a full range of
build-up and hardfacing products and specialty alloys; Rankin Automation, a manufacturer of automated hardfacing and welding systems; and Strong Welding Products, Inc. which offers a selection of cost-effective welding products.
