The Weller Erem 522E side cutter offers an excellent solution for professional cutting tasks in microelectronics. This model features an oval, solid head that allows for high cutting capacity and is particularly robust. The precision cutters are made from high-quality tool steel and have hardened cutting edges (Rockwell 63-65 HRc) that can also be resharpened. The integrated, double self-locking screw joints provide a large range of motion and minimize wear. An innovative, patented opening system protects against injuries and ensures durability. The ESD-safe handles meet MIL standards with a transition resistance between 10^5 and 10^9 Ohm. The side cutter is equipped with a 'Stop! Collision Prevention System' that prevents the crossing of the blades, thus eliminating damage. An optional wire holder is available, which reduces the risk of eye injuries and damage to assemblies from uncontrolled cutting debris. The cutting performance of the tool is optimal for hard and soft steel wires as well as copper wire and cables. Variants are available with small and large bevels, and a version without a bevel for a flush cut. The total length of the side cutter is 115 mm, with a blade length of 10.16 mm and a head width of 9 mm. This precise tool is essential for professionals who value quality and safety.
