Shallow tire siping is a great way to get better grip from your dirt racing tires. This trick siper tool is heated for easier cutting and holds up to thirteen blades for faster tire prep.
The Van Alstine S-100 sipes faster, easier, and with more control than ever imaginable. Whether cutting simple sipes or creating complex siping patterns, the possibilities are unlimited. Cutting open sipes with our #1 siping blade allows an extremely thin strip of rubber to be removed, adding even more flexibility to the S-100 Siper. As an added bonus, the S-100 easily cuts small grooves, making this tool not only the perfect siper, but also an inexpensive but effective groover.
Van Alstine razor sharp blades are readily available and are sold 24 per pack.
This product is shipped with 4 strips with 6 blades each. They are not installed. Uses replacement blades 910-82054. This tool will also cut "open sipes" by using a #1 blade.
