The Engineer NZ-05 are precision cutters designed for removing unwanted components from SMD and through-hole PCBs, making de-soldering and PCB pad clean-up easier.

They are ideal for cutting D.I.P. and S.I.P. leads on densely populated boards, as well as removing chip resistors, ICs, and other SMD components.

The cutters feature ESD-safe thermoplastic elastomer (TPR) handles with strap holes for comfortable and secure handling, along with a coiled spring for smoother operation. An adjustable opening angle of up to 5mm allows for improved control, and a 1.5mm hex key wrench is included for adjustment and screw fastening.

Features

• Jaw ends angled at 45 degrees (perfect for snipping components with the jaws positioned flush to a PCB circuit board)
• Outstanding sharp cutting jaws (heat treated carbon steel) for excellent cutting performance & durability
• Spring loaded grips for easy operation (strap holes at end of handles)
• Jaw opening gap ‘adjuster’ (this restricts how far jaws open up when grips are released) -enhances productivity & less hand fatigue for repetitive cutting work
• Supplied with 1.5mm hex key wrench as a standard accessory (to set the jaw opening angle adjuster)
• ESD compliant grips – safe for use on sensitive electronics, components, PCB work etc.
• Oil resistant comfort cushioned grips (made from environmentally friendly elastomer)
