A registered trademark of SNA Europe Group Precision tools LINDSTROM PRECISION TOOLS Lindstrom precision tools are the essential, specialist tools for electronic, electromechanical and medical device assembly, rework and repair. Since 1856, Lindstrom 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 difficult operation a simple task. CHOOSING THE RIGHT HAND 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. 1 INDEX INFORMATION About Manufacturing know-how Cutting pliers Capacity and options Cutting capacity Holding pliers 3 4 9 - 14 15 - 16 17 18 PRODUCT RANGES Rx Series 80 Series Supreme Series Tweezers Torque screwdriver 19 - 26 27 - 30 31 - 35 36 52 INDIVIDUAL LISTINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS Rx cutters and pliers 80 Series cutters Supreme cutters and pliers Tweezers Torque screwdrivers 21 - 27 28 - 31 32 - 37 38 - 51 52 2 About Application and technology LINDSTROM HISTORY Started in 1856, Lindstrom has set the standard in precision tool manufacturing. As one of the oldest continuous producers of hand tools in existence today, Lindstrom 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 Lindstrom manufacturing cycle. Others have attempted to copy the form, appearance and even the actual part numbers of Lindstrom 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 Lindstrom cutter. 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: BACKGROUND Many years ago, cutters were primarily used in heavy-duty work, i.e. cutting heavy electrical wire and wires used in the telecom field. 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 3 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 flush should the cutting edges be in order to meet tough specifications 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 specific application. Manufacturing know-how Application and technology Lindstrom 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. Lindstrom has been refining this formula for over 150 years. The 1% carbon, with a pinch of chrome and other key 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 Lindstrom cutters offer greater life and have less breakage than other brands used in the same applications. LUBRICITY Another characteristic that emerges from a Lindstrom 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 materials, is similar in many ways to the steel used for high-quality ball bearings. This is the material used for all Lindstrom pliers. The use of ball-bearing grade steel and appropriate heat treatment ensures Lindstrom 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. Different steels have different personalities - each allowing a certain level of hardness. If specific 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 difficult science to master. Measuring the hardness on a Rockwell Hardness Scale, Lindstrom 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 - Lindstrom cutters have remarkably little breakage. The use of ball bearing grade steel together with proper heat treatment offers the possibility of a cutter 4 Manufacturing know-how Application and technology METHODS OF MANUFACTURING FORGINGS One of the major breakthroughs in Lindstrom technology is the ability to produce exact, precision forgings. Without that capability, the automated production process cannot be utilized effectively. Therefore, as the first 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. Stamped tools have a straight grain; this construction is useful for certain applications but ultimate tool life and strength can be compromised. Despite automation, any production process can be extremely limiting if not utilized effectively. Lindstrom 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. 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 Lindstrom 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. Lindstrom is constantly seeking the best way to achieve consistent quality results. These results are seen in the perfect symmetry of the cutter components, the exactness of the grinding, and the consistent hardening. The reliability and consistency of these details are the Lindstrom hallmark. 5 Manufacturing know-how Application and technology JOINTS LAP JOINT WITH SCREW 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 Lindstrom precision pliers have screw joint while the lap joint with rivet is only used for heavy duty pliers. The lap joint with screw is the marriage of a fine 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 screwand-nut combination that is absolutely flush with the edge of the tool may have insufficient threads to maintain consistent alignment. On the other hand, a screwand-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. Lindstrom eliminated this predicament through the positive integration of both designs. With one flat external head and one flush head, both adverse conditions are eliminated. In the end, this design assures the user of sufficient threads for continuous alignment and a narrower profile for greater accessibility.on inner contact surfaces in terms of finish and tolerances. 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 difficult 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. 6 Manufacturing know-how Application and technology 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 ERGOTM product. Ergonomic tools are designed to fit 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 ERGOTM tool is being developed, sustainable efficiency 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 efficient, effective, less tiring and more fun! 7 ERGOTM Development Program Our scientific ERGOTM Development Program (the 11-point program) has resulted in many successful and scientifically 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 fine-tuned the way we do this. The ERGOTM Process So far there are some 500 ERGOTM tools, and the demand is ever-increasing. In order to sharpen our competitive edge in ergonomics and industrial design we have refined the way we design into the ERGOTM Process. This is a comprehensive threephase process, with each phase consisting of several steps. The ERGOTM Process is unique to Lindstrom and scientifically formulated with the help of Industrial Designers and Ergonomists. The ERGOTM Process complies with ISO 9241. The first phase of the ERGOTM 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. Manufacturing know-how Application and technology At the end of this phase, conclusions are made and a successful product prototype can move to the last phase, themed as Define. At this point the final design proposal is made based on all the studies and tests made the previous two phases, and the product specifications and other necessary documents are prepared for the product to be ready for introduction. The Registered Trademark ERGOTM Each ergonomic Lindstrom tool is developed by following the ERGOTM Process thoroughly. The Design Manager of SNA Europe certifies that this process has been correctly followed and that the research for the tool has been performed accordingly. An ERGOTM Diploma is issued for all approved tools, and they are marked with the logo. Professionals used to be satisfied 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. 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 reflects 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. 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, 8 Cutting Pliers Application and technology CUTTER HEAD SHAPE AND SIZE Head shapes vary in size and configuration depending on the application. However, there are four primary types, with variations of each. OVAL HEAD TAPERED HEAD Most common of all the head shapes is the oval head. Combining strength and flexibility, 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. When the sides of the cutters' head are shaped along diagonal lines, the operator can effectively broaden the range of tasks this tool can fulfil. The Lindstrom 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 manufacturers considered to be of similar capacity and is one of the strongest miniature cutters on the market. 9 Tapered Rx8143 allows better tip access yet still has a good general range of cutting capacity. Cutting Pliers Application and technology TAPERED AND RELIEVED HEAD ANGLE 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 difficult areas. Although this provides an obvious advantage, this head style does have a slightly reduced cutting range. 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 difficult 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. Special care should be taken not to use tapered and relieved cutters outside their specified range of cutting capability. 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 Lindstrom'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. 10 Cutting Pliers Application and technology CUTTING EDGES 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 specifications of military and high-end commercial electronics. THE SEMI-FLUSH CUT THE MICRO-BEVEL 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. To meet the requirements of the electronic assembly industry, Lindstrom designed the Micro-Bevel. Its unique cut is quite different from the semi-flush cutters. Its leads are `pinched', unlike the pyramid look of the semi-flush 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: Lindstrom 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. 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 11 THE MICRO-BEVEL CUT Cutting Pliers Application and technology THE FLUSH CUT THE ULTRA-FLUSH CUT The cutting result of most flush 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 finer cutting edges than semi-flush or Micro-Bevel cutters. Lindstrom's flush cut also creates a pinched lead. However, it is configured slightly differently than that produced by other cutters. The Lindstrom flush cutters leaves a narrower and shorter taper along the pinch, thereby reducing the total exposed area. The reason for using a Lindstrom flush cutter rather than the Micro-Bevel is to meet a slightly tighter specification for the cut leadend or to gain a more flush result to a board, component, or part. The question to be addressed then is why have a pinch cut at all? Lindstrom engineers have designed the Ultra-Flush cutter which virtually eliminates the pinch other cutters make. The Ultra-Flush configures two flat 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. 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 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 Lindstrom's own Micro-Bevel and Flush cutters, the Ultra-Flush will outlast any other `flush' 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 final lead-end configuration are a top priority. 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 ULTRA-FLUSH CUT 12 Cutting Pliers Application and technology HOW TO CHOOSE? 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. 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. We are often asked, `Why do you offer such a large range of hand tools, and specifically, so many cutters?' There are two primary reasons for having such a large assortment. First, the applications served by these tools are almost infinite. 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 find 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. 13 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. Cutting Pliers Application and technology WHAT ARE THE TYPES AND DIAMETERS OF MATERIAL YOU WANT TO CUT? 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. 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 configuration. One basic fact of the assembly and repair environment is that cutters on a workbench or in the field 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 Lindstrom, which is solidly engineered and conservatively rated to begin with and the strongest and largest configuration in the Lindstrom 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. For instance; is the material a little tougher than copper or a lot? This will further narrow the field by eliminating the cutters not likely suitable for the application. 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 fit the application, then go with the Tapered and Relieved head. IS REACH OR ANGLE TO THE APPLICATION AN ISSUE? Then consider an angle or tip cutter. However, keep in mind that the smallest configurations in this type should then be reserved for that application and used with considerable care.

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 finger, in terms of force and precision. 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 influenced 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. That is why holding pliers are available today in an almost limitless number of shapes, styles, configurations, materials, and sizes. 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 confidence. Holding pliers are not so easily tested in an objective way - again, because of the almost limitless way in which they are configured 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 18 RX Series Application and technology RX Series LINDSTROM RX: THE ULTIMATE IN PERFORMANCE, PRECISION, AND COMFORT To be the leader in a competitive field takes dedication, hard work, and practice, which is exactly what Lindstrom has been doing since 1856 - perfecting the best hand tools money can buy. For more than 150 years, we have designed and refined 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.

In addition to general assembly, our product line includes models specifically 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 finished? 2. How symmetrical are the two sides? 3. How delicate do they feel? 4. How easily do they handle small parts? MATERIALS Tweezers can be made from different materials depending on the function it carries out: C: Carbon Steel was the first 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. Hardness Rust resistance Magnetism Others C: Carbon Steel High Low High Mechanical application S: Stainless Steel High Low High Mechanical application Medium High Very Low Very good acid resistance High Very high 100% anti-magnetic Great acid resistance SA: Special Stainless Steel TA: Titanium 36 Tweezers Series Application and technology PRECISION TWEEZERS FOR SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS HIGH PRECISION TWEEZERS High precision tweezers are handcrafted to perfect tip symmetry and balance.
