LINDSTROM RX
THE ULTIMATE IN PERFORMANCE, PRECISION
AND COMFORT
To be the leader in a competitive field takes
dedication, hard work, and practice, which is
exactly what Lindstrom has been doing since 1856
– perfecting the best handtools money can buy. For
nearly 150 years, we have designed and refined
the worldʼs leading cutters and pliers. And
in that time, we have learned what
works, and what doesnʼt. But to
fully comprehend what makes
the Rx the very best, one
should take a close look at
the Rx and then compare all
else on the market to it. The
Rx will always come out on top.
Micro-Touch™ is the shape that makes it possible to control
and rotate the Rx between thumb and index finger for precision
work.

THE RX PROFILE
The profile of the Rx grip is slightly rounded and
wide, creating excellent surface distribution and
contact.
ESD-PROTECTION
The ESD-safe composition of our Rx grips combines
resins with conductive additives to produce a material
that safely dissipates electrostatic charges, reducing
possibility of damage to sensitive components.
WARNING:
Rx grips are not insulated and therefore Rx cutters/pliers should never be
used on electrified equipment.

1. Pull the tool apart. 2. Place the spring in the desired port. 3. Close the tool.
BI O SPRING®
Since it is the traditional nature of a return spring to
provide greater resistance the more it is compressed,
this has been a challenge for ergonomists whose goal
is to make work easier and safer.
The solution lies in Lindstrom´s new, patent
applied for, BioSpring®, a solution that is as simple as
it is ingenious – where the material and design work
together to provide new characteristics.

•Tension is kept minimal and limited throughout
the working cycle of the tool.
•Handle width is controlled for ease of tool
pick-up and handling.
•Tension and opening width can be adjusted to suit
your preference via three different ports.
•Almost indestructible in normal use.

when compared to hand tools that
utilize traditional springs.

PRECISION SCREW JOINT
Adjustable screw joint minimizes friction and
maximizes alignment of cutting edges.
LEAD-CATCHERS
Lindstromʼs patented lead-catcher is an accessory that
stops just-cut ends of wire from falling into critical or
sensitive areas, which could result in a short circuit
or contamination. Almost all Rx cutters can be factory
equipped with a
leadcatcher. Just
add “S” to the
tool part number.
Ex. Rx 8140-S.
1% CARBON/CHROME BALL BEARING
GRADE STEEL
Material usually reserved for high stress applications
provides incredible impact resistance and resiliency
with smoother, cleaner penetration at the cutting
edge.
FORGED COMPONENTS
Grain structure follows profile of the blank
to maximize tool strength.
CNC GRINDING OF FORGED BLANKS
Computer controlled grinding guarantees edge angle
accuracy and contact which increases tool reliability
and consistency.
63-65 HRC ON CUTTING EDGES
Precision induction hardening of 1% Carbon/Chrome
Ball Bearing Grade Steel allows high Rockwell
hardness without brittleness, resulting in a longer
lasting tool.
MICRO-BEVEL®
Micro-Bevel cutters leave a minimal
rise on cut leads resulting in a smaller
overall surface soldering area.
FLUSH
Lindstrom flush cutters leave an even
narrower and shorter rise on cut leads
then the Micro-Bevel in order to meet a
tighter specification for the cut lead-end
or to achieve a more flush result to a
board, component or part.
ULTRA-FLUSH®
The unique Ultra-Flush cutters leave
a flat surface on cut leads, which is
considered to be the ultimate in
conformance to tough soldering
and mechanical shock
specifications.
