C.K ESD Side Cutters, Extra Full Flush Cut, Tapered Head for Electronics | Drop Forged Special Alloy Steel, Hardened and Tempered Construction, Precision Box Joint Alignment, Induction Hardened Jaws

PRECISION CONSTRUCTION: Special alloy steel is drop forged, hardened and tempered to provide a rigid working structure for repeated fine tool use. Precision box joint construction maintains permanent jaw alignment without routine adjustment. CONTROLLED ACTION: Spot welded double leaf springs provide consistent automatic reopening between operations, reducing the need to manually reset the handles. Dual component handles provide a controlled grip during repetitive electronics work. CUTTING GEOMETRY: Extra Full Flush Cut, Tapered Head, 13 mm cutting edges controls access and cut profile for precision wire work. Induction hardened jaws are designed to retain their working edge during repeated use within the stated wire capacities. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION: rated for medium-hard wire 0.8 mm and soft wire 1.5 mm; overall length 125 mm; cutting edge length 13 mm. Use only within the stated material capacities and dimensional limits. ESD CONTROL AND FINISH: Fully ESD compliant to IEC 61340 5.1 and 5.2 for work around sensitive electronic components in an appropriate ESD protected environment. The mirror polished surface avoids the flaking associated with plated chrome finishes.
