CK Extra Full Flush ESD Safe Side cutter

CK Side cutter, 136mm Overall Length, 10mm Jaw Length - T3887

This side cutter is a specialised tool for electrostatic-sensitive assembly and maintenance, designed to perform precise lateral cutting tasks in electronic environments. It combines an electrostatic discharge-safe construction with a focused jaw profile to support controlled flush trimming and component lead handling.

Features and Benefits:

• Full flush cutting action for near-level trim results
  Special tool steel blade offering Durable cutting edges
  ESD-safe construction minimises static risk during use
  Dual-component grip reduces slippage for sustained tasks
  3mm jaw width enables accurate access in confined areas
  2-component handle improves user control during operations

Applications

• Suitable for trimming component leads on assembly lines
  Ideal for delicate work in anti-static electronics labs
  Used with sensitive circuitry during repair and rework
  Can be used for precision cable and wire trimming
  Appropriate for hobbyist PCB finishing and adjustments

What is the intended working environment for this tool?

It is intended for environments requiring electrostatic protection and precise lateral cutting such as electronics workshops and assembly benches.

How does the jaw profile affect cutting performance?

The short lateral jaw concentrates cutting force at the tip, allowing precise flush trims and access into tight component areas.

What grip characteristics support extended use?

The grip consists of two materials in a dual-component arrangement to reduce slippage and aid handling during repetitive tasks.

Which blade material contributes to wear resistance?

The blade is manufactured from a specialised tool steel formulated to maintain edge integrity under frequent use.

How does the tool’s geometry assist precision work?

A narrow 3mm jaw width combined with a 10mm jaw length provides a controlled contact area for accurate cuts in confined spaces.
