Product Information

Full details

These Bernstein cutting tweezers are designed for professionals needing precision in delicate wire-cutting tasks. Their key benefit is an exceptionally sharp cutting edge made from hard carbon steel, allowing clean cuts on soft metals. A caveat is their specific application for soft wires up to 0.25mm, not suitable for harder materials. Key features include hardened carbon steel construction, an ESD-coated surface, 115mm length, and bent, flat cutting tips for ergonomic use.

FAQs

What is the maximum wire diameter these tweezers can cut?

These tweezers are designed for cutting soft copper, gold, and silver wires up to a maximum diameter of 0.25mm.

Are these tweezers suitable for cutting steel wire?

No, these tweezers are specifically designed for soft metals like copper, gold, and silver and are not suitable for cutting steel wire or other harder materials.

What does ESD coating mean?

ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. The ESD coating helps to prevent the build-up and discharge of static electricity, making the tweezers safe to use around sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by static.

What material are the tweezers made of?

The tweezers are made from extremely hard carbon steel for both the body and the tips.

How long are the tweezers?

The tweezers have a total length of 115mm.

Where are these tweezers manufactured?

These Bernstein tweezers are manufactured in Germany.

How should I clean the tweezers?

Gently clean the cutting edges with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids.

Troubleshooting

Cutting edge feels dull or is not cutting cleanly.

Ensure you are not attempting to cut wires thicker than 0.25mm or harder materials. Clean the cutting edges with a soft cloth. If dullness persists, professional sharpening might be required, but avoid DIY sharpening which can damage the fine edge.

Tweezers are not cutting all the way through the wire.

Verify the wire's diameter and material. Ensure the wire is positioned correctly at the very tip of the cutting edge. Check for any debris lodged between the cutting blades.

ESD coating appears to be damaged.

Inspect the tweezers for visible signs of damage to the coating. While minor cosmetic imperfections may not affect functionality, significant damage could compromise ESD protection. Avoid using for highly sensitive applications if coating is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These tweezers are ready for immediate use out of the box. No setup is required.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for cutting soft copper, gold, and silver wires up to 0.25mm in diameter. They are compatible with ESD-sensitive environments due to their coating. They are not recommended for cutting hard materials or wires exceeding their specified diameter.

Care: To maintain sharpness and longevity:

  1. After each use, gently clean the cutting edges with a soft, dry cloth to remove any debris.
  2. Avoid cutting materials harder than specified, as this can damage the cutting edge.
  3. Store the tweezers in a protective case or in a way that prevents the tips from being damaged or dulled.
  4. Do not immerse in liquids or use abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the carbon steel and ESD coating.
