Injection Molding Supplies Non-scratch bronze grippers

Strongest bronze alloy. Non-scratch, ideal for removing sprues and parts without damaging mold surfaces. Non-magnetic, for work around MRI's and magnets. Corrosion resistant. Soft Touch static dissipative foam handles distribute pressure smoothly to the hand and dissipate static electricity slowly to protect components. Longer double ergonomic handles, for high leverage, less operator force.

Edge type is extremely important.

Hardness of the material being cut may dictate standard bevel, but when soft material is used, a super flush cutter jaw will function with about half the effort required for a bevel or flush cutter, while minimizing wire pinch and spike and potential shock damage to the leads or components. Super flush cutters wear faster, but that cost is usually offset by other ergonomic and shock reduction and low spike advantages. Swanstrom edge-cut choices include: shear, near shear, 0.010" bevel, 0.005" flush, 0.002" full flush, and 0.000" super flush. Tool head and tip shape choices permit a wide range of hand and arm positions with maximum visibility at the point of cut. Swanstrom oval designs are strongest. Taper slims are most versatile but weakest at the tips. Angle end cutters and curved noses should be evaluated before the need to incur the additional cost of special handles.
