MK Series Tools Provide Pneumatic Cut, Bend or Swage
  
The Elite MK Series pneumatic hand tools cover a number of options: cut and bend, cut and swage, or cut only.  All are designed for post component assembly prior to soldering.  These tools are lightweight and offer ergonomic design preventing operator fatigue.  Unlike side cutters, the off-cuts from these tools drop to the PCB, eliminating flying lead waste.  The MK-3 tools feature exclusive trigger activated, scissor-type blades, manufactured of 60C Rockwell hardened tool steel, and won't scrape leads or mark circuit boards.  MK-3 tools provide cut and bend (or cut only) of component leads in a single stroke; the tapered head giving access to even the most densely populated underboard areas.  MK-6 tools feature exclusive trigger activated, V-type blades, swage the lead to typically twice the wire diameter (ensuring component retention) or cut leads flush to the PCB after soldering. All tools are ergonomically designed, thus eliminating operator fatigue, and also helping to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
  
  

  
360° Turnover PCB Assembly System
  
These rugged, self-contained assembly fixtures combine a heavy duty, tilt-proof base, adjustable 3-rail PCB frame and a dual snap-lock foam padded cover and are available in two sizes with 482x228mm (19" x 9") or 610x406mm (24" x 16"); capacity.  Both models offer full 360° rotation for "start to finish" assembly and processing of PC boards (component insertion through manual soldering).  Three movable PCB holding rails adjust easily and offer the capacity to assemble both multiple small and single large boards.  Parts are inserted, immobilized, and rotated 180° for clinching and/or soldering, then returned to their original position for removal of the finished PCB.  Frame locks at 15°, 30°, or 45° front and back.  A foam pad prevents component fallout.  Choose from standard, conductive, or silicon-treated, solder-safe foam padded covers.
