Weller Erem Flush ESD Safe Side cutter

Weller Side cutter, 120mm Overall Length, 1.6mm Maximum Cutting Capacity - 884 E

This side cutter is a precision hand tool designed for electronics work, offering fine-point cutting for close-to-board operations. It pairs a narrow relieved head with a flush cutting edge to enable neat severing of component leads and wiring in assembly and maintenance environments.

Features and Benefits:

• Pointed relieved head allows access to confined areas
  Flush cutting edge produces low-profile wire stubs
  Maximum cutting capacity of 1.6mm suits common wire sizes
  Jaw width 10mm delivers controlled grip on conductors
  Jaw length 15mm provides precise bite on small components
  ESD‑safe construction reduces electrostatic risk during handling

Applications

• Suitable for trimming component leads on PCB assemblies
  Ideal for cutting hookup and signal wires in control panels
  Used with delicate connectors during electronics repair
  Can be used for fine work in automation equipment maintenance
  Used for precision tasks in electrical and mechanical prototyping

Is the tool safe to use around static-sensitive components?

Yes, the construction is ESD‑safe to minimise electrostatic discharge when handling sensitive parts.

What materials are used for the cutting edges to maintain sharpness?

The jaws are MADE from high-grade tool steel to retain edge durability under repeated cutting.

How does the handle design affect grip and control?

The bi-metal handle combines two materials to provide a comfortable grip and improved torque transfer for precise cuts.

Can it cut thicker cables or conductors beyond electronics work?

The tool has a practical limit of 1.6mm maximum cutting capacity, so thicker cables exceed its specified capability.
