Electronics engineers and precision mechanics attach great importance to the highest precision at every step of the process. This is the only way to achieve perfect results on small mechanics and sensitive electronic assemblies. Not only their own skills but also the choice of the right tool play a major role in this process.
In order to assist you in the best possible way with the realization of your projects, reichelt now offers you a hand-picked assortment of ESD and precision mechanics tools from the German manufacturer BERNSTEINThe beginnings of BERNSTEIN date back to 1953. Starting as the technical department of the hardware wholesaler Bernhard Steinrücke, the company has established itself in the following years as an independent tool specialist. Thanks to its know-how in the manufacture of hand tools for repairing television and radio technology, BERNSTEIN has grown to become one of the best-known manufacturers of electronic and precision engineering tools. The many years of experience are particularly evident in the range of high-quality tweezers, pliers and screwdrivers, as well as individual ESD special tools and clamping devices such as the SPANNFIX ball-joint vice.
With tweezers, the choice of material is also important
When choosing a suitable pair of tweezers, for most users the most important purchase arguments are shape and handling. Because one thing is clear: without the right head shape, filigree components, for example, cannot be picked up and held correctly or, in the worst case, are even irreparably damaged. Features such as a dissipative coating for ESD applications should not be neglected here either.
However, the material of a pair of tweezers also offers advantages that can make all the difference depending on the application. For many applications, such as picking up and placing small precision mechanical parts, tweezers made of nickel-plated steel or stainless steel are perfectly adequate. If additional work is to be carried out on electrostatically sensitive parts, a conductive coating is absolutely necessary. If you regularly work with components made of particularly sensitive materials, plastic tweezers are a good choice. These only exert a slight but constant pressure. For extraordinary, hard working environments, where resistant and robust tools are required, titanium tweezers can show their advantages. They are light, corrosion-resistant and easy to handle, yet are protected against solder, acids and high temperatures up to 1677 °C. Titanium also has anti-magnetic and antibacterial properties.Discover our range of high-quality tools from BERNSTEIN!
