You can thank a Swiss watchmaker for your precision cutting tweezers. He designed the tweezers for cutting hairsprings in wind-up watches in the early 1900s.His invention then led to the cutting style of tweezers commonly used in the electronics industry today. A cut above? Perhaps. Nowadays, cutting tweezers serve multiple industries with greater functionality for diverse applications.
So, how do you know which one works best for your application? Let’s take a look at today’s top five cutting-tweezer styles:
Most popular—Cuts at the tips; features angulated head and flat cutting blades
Fine round tips with extra-long cutting blades
Relieved face with a rounded tip; ESD-safe epoxy coating
Shorter blades than the 15A-GW
Angulated head and 32 AWG stripper
Today’s cutting tweezers have come a long way since wind-up watches. From angulated heads to relieved faces, optimized cutting performance—regardless of application—is right at your fingertips.
