Airborne hoist rescues rarely happen on calm seas or nice days.  If the hoist cable gets caught in a ship's rigging, trees, rocks, railings or worse yet around the rescuer's neck, the cable needs to be cut quickly. The existing two handed cable cutters are too slow, ineffective, and not designed for this purpose.  The hoist installed cable cutter  will cut the cable inside the hoist thus ending any chance of continuting the life saving mission.  However, with the AxelCut and a quick splice you can finish the mission.  

The specially designed AxelCut is a light weight one handed airborne hoist emergency cable cutter.  The cutting blades are made from the highest quality Swedish steel.  It is unaffected by EMI, lightning, or any other possible hoist system failures and is designed for low cost and a long life. There are no explosive charges or shelf life issues and it can cut the cable repeatedly.    Qualified to +160 F, -40 F, Salt Fog, and Endurance.  

The AxelCut with its fast clean one handed cut allows the use of a quick splice plate; permitting the ballistic hoist installed cable cutter to be used as the backup for helicopter emergencies.  The AxelCut can also save significant down time if the cable must be cut; because if the ballistic hoist mounted cable cutter is used the hoist system will have to be rebuilt, and the cartridge will have to be replaced. 

The AxelCut can be installed in various ways to best fit your aircraft.  It is in use in Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Kuwait, New Zealand, Spain, Sudan, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and  United States Army, and in the United States for Public Use .
