Alligators are basically carnivores, but they eat more than just meat, feeding on anything from sticks to fishing lures to aluminum cans. Mostly, they consume fish, turtles, snakes, and small mammals. When they are young they feed on insects, snails, and small fish. (Britton, 1999; Levy, 1991). Alligators hunt primarily in the water at night, snapping up small prey and swallowing it whole.
Some applications require specialized precision cleavers that are designed to cleave specific fiber sizes. These high-cost precision cleavers are the solution for applications where the highest quality fiber endface and lowest optical loss is required, such as component assembly or high strength splicing applications.
Fitel's S315 Field Cleaver is a singlemode and multimode stapler that features a ceramic blade with a life of at least 1,000 cleaves. Our field cleaver does require some skill to achieve desired angles, but its small, lightweight size makes it perfect for use in the field, says Hoffman.
