For nearly 150 years, we have designed and refined the worlds leading cutters and pliers. And in that time, we have learned what works, and what doesnt. 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. TA K E CLOSER LOOK AT THE RX A THE RX PROFILE The profile of the Rx grip is slightly rounded and wide, creating excellent surface distribution and contact. ESD-PROTECTION Micro-TouchTM is the shape that makes it possible to control and rotate the Rx between thumb and index finger for precision work. 24 The ESD-safe composition of our Rx grips combines resins with conductive additives to produce a material that safely dissipates electrostatic charges, reducing possibility of damage to sensitive components. W A R N I N G : Rx grips are not insulated and therefore Rx cutters/pliers should never be used on electrified equipment. W W W. L I N D S T R O M T O O L S . C O M PRODUCT RANGES Rx Cutters and Pliers B I O S P R I N G(R) RX PLUS 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 Lindstroms new, patent applied for, BioSpring(R), a solution that is as simple as it is ingenious - where the material and design work together to provide new characteristics. RX PLUS C O M PA R E D W I T H TRADITIONAL SPRINGS B I O S P R I N G(R) * 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. TO 1. Pull the tool apart. B I O S P R I N G(R) This graph clearly shows the benefit of reduced spring tension offered by the BioSpring(R) when compared to hand tools that utilize traditional springs. ADJUST RX 2.

FORGED COMPONENTS Grain structure follows profile of the blank to maximize tool strength. CNC GRINDING OF FORGED BLANKS Computer controlled grinding guarantees edge angle accuracy and contact which increases tool reliability and consistency. 63-65 HRC ON CUTTING EDGES Precision induction hardening of 1% Carbon/Chrome Ball Bearing Grade Steel allows high Rockwell hardness without brittleness, resulting in a longer lasting tool. (R) MICRO-BEVEL Micro-Bevel cutters leave a minimal rise on cut leads resulting in a smaller overall surface soldering area. MICRO-BEVEL FLUSH FLUSH Lindstrom flush cutters leave an even narrower and shorter rise on cut leads then the Micro-Bevel in order to meet a tighter specification for the cut lead-end or to achieve a more flush result to a board, component or part. U LT R A - F L U S H U LT R A - F L U S H 26 (R) The unique Ultra-Flush cutters leave a flat surface on cut leads, which is considered to be the ultimate in conformance to tough soldering and mechanical shock specifications. PRECISION SCREW JOINT Adjustable screw joint minimizes friction and maximizes alignment of cutting edges. L E A D - C AT C H E R S Lindstroms 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. W W W. L I N D S T R O M T O O L S .
