Fusion Cutter

A Fusion Cutter could be found with most tools on any starship or in any repair bay across the galaxy. The cutter was very handy to use during repairs and modifications to ships and vehicles.

The common fusion cutter consisted of a handgrip and a long emitter, producing a high-energy plasma beam. This beam could slice through dense metals, duraplast, and other reinforced materials. The cutting beam was often adjustable, allowing the user to decrease the beam for fine, precise work, or to generate a wide-dispersion laser. Some fusion cutters could also unscrew bolts.

A fusion cutter's beam could be dangerous if not used correctly, though its limited range ensured the tool could not be effectively used as a weapon. However, fusion cutters were often carried into battle, notably by engineers and pilots during the Clone Wars and the subsequent Galactic Civil War. These specialized engineers and pilots used fusion cutters to repair vehicles, turrets, medical droids and supply droids on the battlefront.
