Lindström precision tools are the essential, specialist
tools for electronic, electromechanical and medical
device assembly, rework and repair. Since 1856,
Lindström tools have been setting the standards for
precision tool manufacturing ever since.
The expression ‘the right tool for the job’ could not
be more appropriate than in a discussion about hand
tools. Whether in the hands of a skilled professional
or a new operator, the right tool can make the most
difcult operation a simple task.

PRECISION TOOLS
In today’s complex working environment, it is
important to understand and consider the different
requirements and conditions that affect your choice of
hand tools.
For example:
■How frequently are you going to use the tool?
■What type of result are you trying to achieve?
■What kind of material are you going to cut or bend?
■Can you use one tool instead of two?
■Do you have concerns about ESD or other
specialized standards?
These questions and many more should be
considered in making your choice. This catalogue
includes information to assist you in choosing the right
tool for your application.

LINDSTRÖM HISTORY
Started in 1856, Lindström has set the standard in
precision tool manufacturing. As one of the oldest
continuous producers of hand tools in existence today,
Lindström maintains its edge over the competition
through its technical understanding, response
to market needs, and commitment to advanced
technology. Metallurgy, manufacturing techniques,
and tremendously skilled crafts people – particularly in
the hardening of steel – are the hallmarks of this world
renowned manufacturer.
Some companies have been able to implement one
facet or another of the Lindström manufacturing cycle.
Others have attempted to copy the form, appearance
and even the actual part numbers of Lindström
cutters. However, none has been able to successfully
blend all the elements that are required to achieve
the level of performance recognized worldwide as
belonging to a true Lindström cutter.
BACKGROUND
Many years ago, cutters were primarily used in
heavy-duty work, i.e. cutting heavy electrical wire
and wires used in the telecom eld. In order to meet
the requirements of linesmen and other general use
workers, tool manufacturers designed a cutter that
left a wide, pyramid-shaped lead end after cutting. Its
hardness was adequate for the strain put on the
cutter blades.
However, as the electronics and other related
industries developed, the requirements on tools,
and in particular cutters, became far different. For
example, many people believe that an electrician must
do a lot of cutting. Yet, an electrician may make
fewer cuts in his lifetime than some electronic
assembly workers make in one month! Therefore,
the need for cutting small wires thousands and
thousands of times necessitated a radically new and
innovative technology.
Small cutters were needed that could cut both
extremely small and relatively large diameter wires,
often of quite different materials. In addition, the lead
ends had to be quite different since the solderability of
these wires was of paramount importance. These lead
ends had to be covered completely and properly with
no bare copper or basis material exposed.
Compounding the problem was the accessibility
issue, as not all cutters could get into the same area.
Transmission of the mechanical shock of cutting to
sensitive semiconductor components added even
more cutter design challenges. However, despite
some manufacturers’ claims to the contrary, there are
no secret or ‘magic’ materials or processes that can
give you some kind of super cutter for all applications
Some inherent trade-offs in the design of tools and
choices must be made in order to meet certain
application requirements. For example:
At what point is the cutter head small enough to gain
access and still be able to withstand the impact of
cutting wires (of various sizes) innumerable times?
How ush should the cutting edges be in order
to meet tough specications yet still keep tool life
extended to the maximum? And what about resist-
ance to edge damage due to occasional misuse?
To what degree of hardness should the tool be made
in order to extend tool life and still limit breakage due
to being too brittle?
What type of joint should be put into a tool to extend
the precision of the cutting edges and still be cost
effective for you to use?
Understanding these trade-offs is the key to making
an objective and cost-effective choice of tools for your
specic application.

Application and technology
Manufacturing know-how
Lindström cutters offer an unequalled blend of the
technical elements required to achieve the level
of performance demanded by a growing number
of users.
MATERIALS
Every cutter begins with the fundamental materials.
Even slight adjustments to these ingredients can
change the way steel performs. Lindström has
been rening this formula for over 150 years. The
1% carbon, with a pinch of chrome and other key
materials, is similar in many ways to the steel used
for high-quality ball bearings. This is the material
used for all Lindström pliers. The use of ball-bearing
grade steel and appropriate heat treatment ensures
Lindström cutters last for longer than other brands
used in the same applications.
RESILIENCY
One of the challenges in tool design and usage alike
is the search to increase tool life. Decreased life is
caused generally by usage beyond the limits of the
material and its corresponding hardness.
The use of ball bearing grade steel together with
proper heat treatment offers the possibility of a cutter
LUBRICITY
Another characteristic that emerges from a Lindström
cutter is the ease with which the tool makes its cut.
The precision of the machining makes it as if there is
a built-in, which makes the
cutting easier. This not only
helps to make a better cutter,
but also reduces operator
fatigue.
HARDNESS
Different steels have different
personalities – each allowing
a certain level of hardness. If
specic steel is hardened too
much for its composition, it
will break easily. On the other
hand, not enough hardening
can sharply reduce tool life.
How steel is cooled after
hardening and recognizing
the different strength
capacities of that steel are
some of the key factors that
make the hardening process
a difcult science to master.
Measuring the hardness on a Rockwell Hardness
Scale, Lindström cutters are elevated to a hardness
of 63-65 on the cutting edge. This hardness ranks
among the highest of any cutters made. For most
manufacturers, this hardness level would create a
high breakage rate.
Yet, because of the steel, and proper control and
consistency of the hardening area – even when used
beyond the rated capacity – Lindström cutters have
remarkably little breakage.
of tremendous resiliency and toughness with the
ability to withstand greater impact, yet with the ability
to return to its original form without damage. This is
one of the reasons why Lindström cutters offer greater
life and have less breakage than other brands used in
the same applications.

PROCESSES
Anyone involved in manufacturing knows that to attain
a quality process, there are no shortcuts – learning
must be by doing. Subsequent steps in the Lindström
cutter production process have been painstakingly
developed over a 30-year period backed by more
than 150 years of precision tool production and
know-how. Lindström is constantly seeking the best
way to achieve consistent quality results. These
results are seen in the perfect symmetry of the cutter
com ponents, the exactness of the grinding, and the
consistent hardening. The reliability and consistency
of these details are the Lindström hallmark.
Despite automation, any production process can be
extremely limiting if not utilized effectively. Lindström
effectiveness is directly related to the use of forgings
of exact dimensions. When forgings are not uniform, it
becomes nearly impossible to obtain the repeatability
necessary to produce a consistent quality tool.
Attempts have been made by others in the industry
to automate the manufacturing process without such
forgings, but the tools produced are physically erratic.
The result is an increased breakage level or rapid
deterioration of the cutting edges – expensive tools at
any price.
Cutters
produced
by an
extrusion
method have a cross grain
structure; thus, they are
susceptible to greater
breakage, particularly along
the cutting edges and the
joint.
Forged
cutters
are usually
the strongest.
Their grain
structure follows the profile
of the cutter.
METHODS OF MANUFACTURING
Stamped
tools
have a
straight grain;
this construction
is useful for certain
applications but ultimate
tool life and strength can
be compromised.
One of the major breakthroughs in Lindström
technology is the ability to produce exact, precision
forgings. Without that capability, the automated
production process cannot be utilized effectively.
Therefore, as the rst step in the manufacturing cycle,
forgings are a key element in the total production
process. To maintain interchangeability, every
forging must be perfectly precise and compatible to
one another.

JOINTS
The joint is a crucial part of the structure of the
pliers. It is the key to smooth running and long term
performance. For this reason, all Lindström precision
pliers have screw joint while the lap joint with rivet is
only used for heavy duty pliers.
LAP JOINT WITH RIVET
The lap joint with rivet is both economical and
effective for those tools used for occasional work or
for heavy-duty cutting where the requirements for
precision are not as great. This joint’s limitation is that
it is difcult to achieve
the precision of a
screw and nut in terms
of holding torque and
bearing surface for
moving parts and
thus it can loosen or
develop ‘play’ more
easily over time. This
leads to misaligned
cutting edges, a
property that is not
conducive to exact
and continuous cutting.
LAP JOINT WITH SCREW
The lap joint with screw is the marriage of a ne pitch
threaded screw and miniature nut. It is extremely
important that these two parts are geometrically
correct. However, there is more to achieving strength
and precision in the
joint than that. For
example, a screw-
and-nut combination
that is absolutely
ush with the edge
of the tool may have
insufcient threads to
maintain consistent
alignment. On the
other hand, a screw-
and-nut combination
that has external
heads on both sides
of the joint may limit
the cutters’ possibility to be used for a number of
tight access applications. Lindström eliminated this
predicament through the positive integration of both
designs. With one at external head and one ush
head, both adverse conditions are eliminated. In the
end, this design assures the user of sufcient threads
for continuous alignment and a narrower prole for
greater accessibility.on inner contact surfaces in terms
of nish and tolerances.

ERGOTM & DESIGN
If hand tools are to be ergonomic, they must
be perfectly suited to the task, the user and the
environment. That is why all three of these factors are
crucial when creating an ERGO™ product.
Ergonomic tools are designed to t the human hand,
minimising grip-strength demands and allowing
muscles to relax periodically, reducing the risk of static
muscle fatigue. Locking or adjusting mechanisms
must be safe and easy-to-use, mitigating the risk
of injury or any awkward hand positioning. Contact
stress and slipping should be managed through the
right choice of materials and handle design. The
handle is fundamental as it also provides the right
sensory feedback for
accuracy, precision
and optimum control
of the tool, and is
designed to reduce
vibrations to the hand
and arm.
Whenever an
ERGO™ tool is
being developed,
sustainable efciency
and effectiveness are considered, as well as reliability
and durability in challenging environments. Safety
is paramount and we work to prevent risks of both
immediate and long-term injuries and pain.
We also take pride and the experience into account
- our ergonomic tools are made to be attractive and
give the user control, comfort and precision. We
innovate continuously, in terms of function, material
and design.
We believe it is important to adapt tools to the
potential and limitations of human anatomy, instead of
expecting people to adapt to our tools.
We believe in putting the right tools in the hands of
professional users, mitigating injury and making their
work more efcient, effective, less tiring and more fun!
ERGO™ Development Program
Our scientic ERGO™ Development Program (the
11-point program) has resulted in many successful
and scientically evaluated ergonomic tools. We
work hard to deliver the best possible tools to every
customer, and over the years we have continuously
developed, improved and ne-tuned the way we do
this.
The ERGO™ Process
So far there are some 500 ERGO™ tools, and the
demand is ever-increasing. In order to sharpen our
competitive edge in ergonomics and industrial design
we have rened the way we design into the ERGO™
Process. This is a
comprehensive three-
phase process, with
each phase consisting
of several steps.
The ERGO™ Process
is unique to Lindström
and scientically
formulated with the help
of Industrial Designers
and Ergonomists.
The ERGO™ Process complies with ISO 9241.
The rst phase of the ERGO™ Process is Observe.
Its purpose is to provide the foundation for ergonomic
product development. It consists of
pre-studies for each product idea, with emphasis on
the ergonomic survey - a series of interviews to obtain
insights into the tasks performed with the tool, looking
at how it is handled, who uses it, and in what kind of
environment.
The second phase is Experiment. It starts with a
prototype design that is then tested by users and
those test results analysed. This leads to a new series
of prototypes that are put through user tests and
analysis again. The number of design and test rounds
varies, depending on a number of factors.
8
Application and technology
Manufacturing know-how
At the end of this phase, conclusions are made and
a successful product prototype can move to the last
phase, themed as Dene. At this point the nal design
proposal is made based on all the studies and tests
made the previous two phases, and the product
specications and other necessary documents are
prepared for the product to be ready for introduction.
The Registered Trademark ERGO™
Each ergonomic Lindström tool is developed by
following the ERGO™ Process thoroughly. The
Design Manager of SNA Europe certies that this
process has been correctly followed and that the
research for the tool has been performed accordingly.
An ERGO™ Diploma is issued for all approved tools,
and they are marked with the logo.
Professionals used to be satised with very durable
steel tools. This emphasis on durability meant that
almost all attention was focused on the composition
of steel, the life of cutting edges, joints, etc. Thus,
for many years, the design of high quality tools for
professional use in industry has been technology
driven, rather than operator oriented.
Today, users are more demanding in terms of function
and comfort. As a matter of fact, a growing number of
professional users now demand tools that meet the
highest standards of performance and simultaneously
reduce the risk of injury in the short and long term.
This demand is primarily due to two factors: First,
the increased concern with safety in the workplace,
particularly with regard to the frequent involvement
of both repetitive motions and high force in
many industrial tasks, often in combination
with poor hand/arm posture caused by
the inappropriate design of some
traditional hand tools. The costs
for the use of inappropriate
hand tools, unsuitable
work stations, and
job routines
will, of course,
be shared among the individual operators, the
company, and society in the form of direct medical
expenses, work lost, reduced quality, training of
workers, disruption of work, increased insurance and
administrative costs.
Second, this demand reects the recognition of the
importance of quality as well as output volume in
many industrial tasks, and the need for tools which
enhance not only user capabilities but which also offer
the ability to give consistent, high performance results
– day in and day out.
By introducing ergonomists and industrial designers
into the design process, additional focus is being
placed upon industry and operator demands. Thus,
the dynamics of tool use, operator preference, and
the size and shape of the hand tool are now all design
priorities.

Application and technology
Cutting Pliers
Head shapes vary in size and conguration depending on the application. However, there are four primary types,
with variations of each.
CUTTER HEAD SHAPE
AND SIZE
OVAL HEAD
Most common of all the
head shapes is the oval
head. Combining strength
and exibility, the oval
head can withstand and
distribute the impact of
cutting and is utilized in
a myriad of applications.
The head shape combined
with materials, method
of manufacturing, type of
cut, and the tool’s hardness, determine the range of
cutting capability.
TAPERED HEAD
When the sides of the
cutters’ head are shaped
along diagonal lines, the
operator can effectively
broaden the range of
tasks this tool can full.
The Lindström tapered
head cutter utilizes this
design without reducing
the cutting range, and
increases the number of
areas that the operator can gain access to.
However, since the tapered head does not stand up
to occasional misuse as well as an oval head design
of similar dimensions, a greater degree of care should
be observed in its use.
The Rx8130 with miniature oval head will cut copper wire
up to 1.25mm/16 gauge in diameter. Yet, the Rx8130 is far
smaller than models from other manufac turers considered to
be of similar capacity and is one of the strongest miniature
cutters on the market.
Tapered Rx8143 allows better tip access yet still has a good
general range of cutting capacity.
10
Application and technology
Cutting Pliers
TAPERED AND RELIEVED HEAD
This head style is the
smallest of the standard
cutting heads available.
Not only does it taper on
both sides, but also the
underside is cut away,
allowing the operator to
gain access into some
difcult areas. Although
this provides an obvious
advantage, this head style
does have a slightly reduced cutting range.
Special care should be taken not to use
tapered and relieved cutters outside their
specified range of cutting capability.
ANGLE HEAD
This head shape is
sometimes called an
oblique style with its head
set at an angle to the
main body of the cutter,
the purpose of which is to
reach between wires or
parts or into areas which
are difcult to access.
Tools of this design can
also be used to trim
standard leads or parts
with the advantage being
that the operator’s hand can be in a different position
if desired. The cutting range of the angulated head
will vary depending upon its style, but some degree of
care should be observed in its use.
Tapered and relieved Rx8146 provides improved access and
visibility for even the most difficult job.
Angle head Rx8247 provides benefit of reach and operator
visibility.
Lead-Catchers
Lindström’s patented lead-catcher is an accessory that stops just-cut ends of wire from falling into critical
or sensitive areas, which could result in a short circuit or contamination. Almost all Rx cutters can be
factory equipped with a leadcatcher. Just add “S” to the tool part number. Ex. Rx 8140-S.
11
Application and technology
Cutting Pliers
Explaining the type of cut that particular cutters make is perhaps the greatest area of confusion and worthy of
special study as there is no real standardization of terminology, and each brand offers its own description of its type
of cut. Understanding these differences is particularly important in the ordering process.
It is imperative that you recognize what type of cut you require and what the cut lead-end should look like after
it is cut. This is especially true in the tighter requirements and specications of military and high-end commercial
electronics.
CUTTING EDGES
THE SEMI-FLUSH CUT
This type of cut leaves a large lead-end, shaped
like a pyramid, and has been manufactured for
decades by every tool manufacturer. This type
of cutting edge is a good application match for
general electrical or hobby cutting where tool
price is often the primary consideration.
This application match is good due to the
fact that the cut lead shape is satisfactory for
these applications and the cutting edge itself
does not require a high level of hardness,
sophisticated material to achieve that hardness,
or an extremely precise type of joint in order to
function.
THE SEMI-FLUSH CUT THE MICRO-BEVEL CUT
THE MICRO-BEVEL CUT
To meet the requirements of the electronic
assembly industry, Lindström designed the
Micro-Bevel. Its unique cut is quite different from
the semi-ush cutters. Its leads are ‘pinched’,
unlike the pyramid look of the semi-ush cut,
allowing less altitude and smaller overall surface
area. Because of its design, it has an extremely
wide cutting range, and a variety of uses far
beyond any other cutter produced today. For
example: Lindström produces a cutter (Rx8130)
that has a cutting range for copper from 0.2
mm/32 gauge to 1.25 mm/16 gauge yet has a
remarkably small overall head size.
12
Application and technology
Cutting Pliers
THE ULTRA-FLUSH CUT
The question to be addressed then is why have
a pinch cut at all? Lindström engineers have
designed the Ultra-Flush cutter which virtually
eliminates the pinch other cutters make. The
Ultra-Flush congures two at planes with a
barely discernible line separating each of these
planar surfaces. Only a precise screw joint and
a specially designed radius on the cutting edge
could allow this razor-sharp edge to be utilized
effectively.
The trade-off in this case is a more limited cutting
range and greater possibility for edge damage
due to misuse. However, with the exception of
Lindström’s own Micro-Bevel and Flush cutters,
the Ultra-Flush will outlast any other ‘ush’ or
‘shear’ type of tool and still match competitive
cutting ranges.
The unique design of the Ultra-Flush is perfect
for use in close tolerance electronic and
medical device assembly where concerns about
mechanical shock transmission or nal lead-end
conguration are a top priority.
THE FLUSH CUT THE ULTRA-FLUSH CUT
EXCEEDING THE FLUSH CUT
Many manufacturers have a cut which, in reality, is just
a smaller pinch, allowing own equipment manufacturers
to meet solderability specifications and alleviate shock.
This pinched lead is deemed acceptable for many
items produced for high-specification applications, but
confusion is caused by the size and height of the pinch
as each cut will vary from brand to brand and between
manufacturers.
The general consensus is that the greater this pinch
becomes, the less the acceptability of the cut. The
critical area here is realizing that as the cutters wear
down, the size of the pinch increases and could rise
above the maximum acceptable height. Moreover, the
greater the pinch, the greater the mechanical shock
transmitted.
THE FLUSH CUT
The cutting result of most ush cutters, their
individual terminology notwithstanding, is
somewhat similar. Flush cutters also pinch the
leads, but at a lower altitude than Micro-Bevel
cutters. These cutters have ner cutting edges
than semi-ush or Micro-Bevel cutters.
Lindström’s ush cut also creates a pinched lead.
However, it is congured slightly differently than
that produced by other cutters. The Lindström
ush cutters leaves a narrower and shorter
taper along the pinch, thereby reducing the total
exposed area. The reason for using a Lindström
ush cutter rather than the Micro-Bevel is to meet
a slightly tighter specication for the cut lead-
end or to gain a more ush result to a board,
component, or part.

Application and technology
Cutting Pliers
Deciding which cutters to use among the very
large assortment offered in this catalogue can be
challenging, to say the least. In addition, there can
be several good options to choose from for a given
application.
We are often asked, ‘Why do you offer such a large
range of hand tools, and specically, so many
cutters?’ There are two primary reasons for having
such a large assortment.
First, the applications served by these tools are
almost innite. From a pure application point of
view, more specialized tools are often required to
achieve the most cost effective and technically sound
result. In addition, requirements in terms of size and
composition of materials to be cut or bent and the
end result required can change very rapidly in the
fast- moving assembly industry. So maintaining a wide
assortment gives you assurance that you can nd a
good solution for future application requirements that
you may not have at present.
Secondly, applications are only a part of the
reason for such a wide assortment. The fact is that
beyond certain basic health and safety guidelines in
proper tool usage, operator preference in terms of
positioning, visibility, reach, experience, etc., varies
greatly from one operator to another, with very few
clear ‘right or wrong’ aspects. We have the broadest
assortment in the precision pliers market to ensure
that we offer the perfect tool for each application. This
means we have to offer many variations.
However, even with that understanding, choosing can
still be a challenge! Here are some basic suggestions
that can help you narrow your choice to a few very
good options.
HOW TO CHOOSE?
What kind of cutting result do you want?
1.If the cutting result is not critical, then go with the
Micro-Bevel as this cutting edge bevel gives you the
best capacity and life in most applications.
2.Use the Flush if Micro-Bevel is not suitable.
3.Use the Ultra-Flush only when required, as it
requires the most care in use.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES AND DIAMETERS OF
MATERIAL YOU WANT TO CUT?

AN ISSUE?
CONTACT US
IS ACCESS (SPACE AVAILABILITY) TO THE
APPLICATION AN ISSUE?
All of our cutters are rated for copper wire. However,
quite often you are not cutting simple copper wire. We
rate them for copper as that is a standard that almost
all can relate to. Some cutters are also rated for
tougher material such as spring wire. However, almost
everything else you are cutting will fall in toughness
between copper and spring wire.
For instance; is the material a little tougher than
copper or a lot? This will further narrow the eld by
eliminating the cutters not likely suitable for
the application.
Then consider an angle or tip cutter. However, keep
in mind that the smallest congurations in this type
should then be reserved for that application and used
with considerable care.
If you still have questions about which tools are best
suited for your application, we strongly encourage
you to contact Lindström or SNA Europe. Our
representatives can make informed recommendations
or furnish tools for evaluation where they provide the
best opportunity for you to observe their value – on
the job. On our Website, www.lindstromtools.com, you
will nd our world-wide presence and can easily locate
a Lindström professional ready to help you nd the
right tool for the job.
If access is not a challenge, then lean towards an
Oval head - in as large size as possible - as this is the
strongest type of head conguration. One basic fact of
the assembly and repair environment is that cutters on
a workbench or in the eld will at one time or another
be used on something either larger or harder than
the original intended application. This is when having
chosen a Lindström, which is solidly engineered and
conservatively rated to begin with and the strongest
and largest conguration in the Lindström range that
can be used for the application, makes sense. And
saves you a lot of money - the tool will much more
easily survive occasional misuse and continue to give
good results.
If access is an issue, then try to use a smaller Oval
head. If that puts you out of cutting range or is still too
large at the tip, then move over to a Tapered head. If
a Tapered head still doesn’t t the application, then go
with the Tapered and Relieved head.

Application and technology
Holding Pliers
Holding pliers are used on the toughest, most forceful
applications – from removing plate steel retaining
pins on an oil derrick to the most sensitive and sterile
of environments such as surgery. This is because
pliers represent
the functional
expression of
replicating and
increasing the
capabilities of
the human hand
across many
dimensions,
particularly of
the thumb and
adjoining nger,
in terms of force
and precision.
That is why
holding pliers are available today in an almost
limitless number of shapes, styles, congurations,
materials, and sizes.

PLIERS
PLIERS EVALUATION
Evaluating pliers in an objective manner is not a
straightforward task. Cutters, for example, can be put
on a machine or on the assembly line, and capacity
or number of cuts can be tested with some degree of
condence.
Holding pliers are not so easily tested in an objective
way – again, because of the almost limitless way in
which they are congured and used and also because
of their often very long service life.
The forces at work on holding pliers are also different
from cutting pliers. With cutters, force and wear act
on the joint in primarily a single plane, and the overall
concern is the precision with which the joint keeps the
edges in alignment together with the performance of
the cutting edges and jaws when subject to the impact
and wear of continuous cutting. By comparison,
the joint in holding pliers must be able to withstand
the very high and often simultaneous force of
multiple plane actions such as holding and twisting
in combination with pushing or pulling. In addition,
in most applications actual wear on the pliers’ jaws
is somewhat secondary to the concern with the
ultimate strength and resistance to breakage of the
jaws with maximum force applied. Therefore, holding
pliers’ performance and capability tend to be strongly
inuenced by the type and quality of construction of
the pivot joint used.
The consideration of the positives and negatives
of each of these constructions can be somewhat
different than for cutters. The key is to take these
considerations into account together with your
intended application and frequency of use so that you
can make an informed, cost-effective decision.

Application and technology
RX Series
To be the leader in a competitive eld takes
dedication, hard work, and practice, which is exactly
what Lindström has been doing since 1856 –
perfecting the best hand tools money can buy. For
more than 150 years, we have designed and rened
the world’s leading cutters and pliers. And in that
time, we have learned what works, and what does
not. But to fully comprehend what makes the Rx the
very best, one should take a close look at the Rx and
then compare all else on the market to it. The Rx will
always come out on top.
LINDSTRÖM RX: THE ULTIMATE IN
PERFORMANCE, PRECISION, AND COMFORT
No unnecessary
sharp edges that
could hurt hands
Cushioned, high-
friction surface.
Always comfortable
and steady in hand
Easily adjustable three-
position spring. Provides
variable resistance and grip
width
Lightweight. Easy to
manoeuvre and position
Precision-
ground edges for
exceptionally long
life Rounded shape makes
it easy to rotate and
to find the optimal
working angle
Unique spring design provides extra-
low resistance when the cut is made.
Reduces fatigue
ESD safe handles

Rx cutters
ESD safety
All Lindström RX pliers (except TRX 8180) are ESD
safe. Resins with conductive additives in the handles
create a material that safely dissipates electrostatic
charges, reducing possibility of damage to sensitive
components.
Warning! Lindström pliers are not 1000V insulated and therefo-
re should never be used on electrified equipment.

Application and technology
RX Series
Biospring®
Since it is the traditional nature of a return spring to
provide greater resistance the more it is compressed,
this has been a challenge for ergonomists whose goal
is to make work easier and safer.
The solution lies in Lindström´s new, patent applied
for, BioSpring®, a solution that is as simple as it is
ingenious – where the material and design work
together to provide new characteristics.
Rx plus Biospring®
■Tension is kept minimal and limited throughout the
working cycle of the tool.
■Handle width is controlled for ease of tool pick-up
and handling.
■Tension and opening width can be adjusted to suit
your preference via three different ports.
■Almost indestructible in normal use.
1. Pull the tool handles apart
2. Place the spring into the desired port
3. Close the tool
TO ADJUST RX
Microtouch is the shape that makes it possible
to control and rotate the RX between thumb and
index finger for precision work.

Application and technology
Tweezers
Lindström tweezers offer perfect balance, tip
alignment, and symmetry as well as a wide range
of materials to meet your most sophisticated and
demanding requirements. In addition to general
assembly, our product line includes models
specically designed for surface mounted devices,
ESD-sensitive areas, and medical and laboratory
applications as well.
When choosing tweezers, special attention
should be given to the following four
criteria.
1. How are the tweezers’ tips nished?
2. How symmetrical are the two sides?
3. How delicate do they feel?
4. How easily do they handle small parts?
LINDSTRÖM TWEEZERS: THE ULTIMATE IN
PERFORMANCE AND PRECISION

C: Carbon Steel High Low High Mechanical application
S: Stainless Steel High Low High Mechanical application
SA: Special Stainless Steel Medium High Very Low Very good acid resistance
TA: Titanium High Very high 100% anti-magnetic Great acid resistance
MATERIALS
Tweezers can be made from different materials depending on the function it carries out:
■C: Carbon Steel was the rst material used for watch-making tweezers. The heat treatment provides long life
tips (max hardness 57 HRc), but are highly magnetic and have low rust resistance. Not to be used in high
temperatures.
■S: Magnetizable stainless steel contains slightly higher carbon content than SA which produces a harder tip but
could rust under extreme conditions. Not recommended for high temperatures.
■SA : Non-magnetic stainless steel which provides excellent resistance to many acids because of the high
concentration of molybdenum. “SA” material is our most popular material sold. Suitable for continuous high
temperature use.
■TA: Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion from nitric acid, chloride, salt water and many other mineral and
organic acids. Titanium is 40% lighter than stainless steel. Fully non-magnetic and temperature resistant.

HIGH PRECISION TORQUE CONTROL
With a unique high-precision cam-over torque-limiting
design, Lindström´s torque screwdrivers eliminate over-
application of force reducing the risk of damage and
rework costs. Available in micro-adjustable or preset
torque versions, Lindström´s torque screwdrivers offer
comfort with a user-friendly shape and non-slip grip.
Built to last and with a non-magnetic bit holder that
accepts any standard drive, it is the ideal choice for
exible applications as well as volume production. All
models are ESD-safe.
MICRO-ADJUSTABLE TORQUE
SCREWDRIVERS
The micro-adjustable torque screwdriver allows instant
change to the torque value with an easy-to-read
window scale and a precise pull-to-set, push-to-lock
mechanism. Adjustment is easy - just pull the knob,
turn to the desired torque, push the knob back in, and it
is ready to use.
The micro-adjustable screwdriver series includes three
models ranging from 10 to 450 Ncm or 20 in.oz. to 40
in.lbs. Accuracy +/- 6%.
PRESET TORQUE SCREWDRIVERS
With the same ruggedness, comfort and precision
of the micro-adjustable version, the preset torque
screwdriver is an excellent choice for volume
manufacturing applications.
The desired torque value is easily set using an internal
adjustment screw accessible by removing the end cap
of the handle. The preset torque driver is available with
a torque of 70-100 Ncm or 100 in.oz. Accuracy +/- 6%.
