Set of hand tools for electricians for safe, fast handling of ICs and small components Key benefits Faster, more efficient work: tools designed for quick operation so you spend less time on repetitive chip removal and handling. Lower fatigue during long jobs: ergonomic, lightweight grips allow extended use with reduced hand strain. Protects components and sockets: precision grippers and chip-removal design minimize the risk of damaging PLCC or ICs during extraction. Secure handling: retractable-plunger mechanism and firm grip design keep parts steady during removal and placement. What’s included and how each tool works Chip removal tool (chip puller): specially developed for safe extraction of PLCC and ICs from sockets without damage. Precision gripper ensures even pull and controlled removal. Component catcher (IC component tool): comfortable, lightweight handle with a retractable plunger that opens wire jaws to grab and release components reliably. Tweezers: practical pickup tool for ICs and other small parts; ideal for precise placement and removal during repairs or assembly. General hand tools for electricians: designed for quick, repeatable motions and long-term use to reduce operator fatigue during extended tasks. Compatibility and performance Compatible with PLCC and standard IC sockets and a wide range of small electronic components. Precision gripping and controlled-release mechanisms make these tools suitable for delicate electronics work where damage prevention is critical. Lightweight ergonomics support repeated use in bench, field, or production environments. Typical applications Electronics repair and board-level servicing: removing and replacing ICs on motherboards, controllers, and other circuit boards without socket damage. Prototyping and assembly: precise pickup and placement of ICs and discrete components during prototyping, testing, and rework. Field service and maintenance: portable, reliable tools for technicians who need quick, safe IC removal and component handling on-site. Practical advantages Reduces risk of bent pins, cracked sockets, and other common extraction damage. Speeds up repetitive chip- and component-handling tasks while maintaining control and precision. Comfortable to use for extended periods, making them suitable for repair shops, labs, and service technicians.
