175LX

The 175LX is an ergonomic ESD-safe Shear Lead Cutter with safety guard. It is a remarkable advancement in cutter design. Carefully crafted precision cutting blades combine seamlessly with curved, palm shaped, handles to deliver effortless lead cutting and user comfort. Plato shear has a thin profile designed for those hard-to-reach areas in electronic assembly. Assemblers love the effortless shearing action, comfort, lightweight and safety for electronics lead and wire cutting. Plato shears use the shear cutting method, which requires 50% less operator effort and extends cutting life because they shear rather than pinch. Handles are cushioned for day long comfort and automatically spring back to their original position after each use. Plato solder pots are ideal for tinning lead wires, pre-tinning small electrical parts or dip soldering small assemblies and circuit devices. Porcelain coated Crucibles Plato's porcelain coated crucible is easy to clean and offers a long service life.
