Orange Sticks

The Beau Tech orange sticks are made of high quality non-resin wood, which will not contaminate solder and component leads. Natural wood is among the best materials that does not generate static charge, thus is safe to use in any ESD sensitive area. They are effective, yet inexpensive tools coming in packages of 100.

Double Beveled Ends (7" x 5/32")

Applications

Use to position and hold Through-Hole and Surface Mount components for soldering and desoldering.
Use to bend component leads.
Use to guide wire on the board.
Use to break solder bridges.
Use to probe for loose components.

Order Number: SH-83 (Package of 100)

Shockproof Vulcan Spudgers/Wiring Aids

These unique Beau Tech spudgers are made of special vulcanized fiber which has the most desirable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties for applications on printed circuit boards.

Features:

Use the beveled or screwdriver end to bend and clinch component leads.
Use both ends to position components when soldering or desoldering.
Use the beveled or screwdriver end to break solder bridge.
Use the beveled or screwdriver end as screw driver where metallic drivers may hurt the board components.
Use the conical end to guide wire in tight places on the board.
Use the conical end to remove components when desoldering.

1 MilProbes

For Ultra Fine Pitch Rework—BGA, Flip Chip, TAB, COB, etc.

The RocHard 1 MilProbe is a 0.3" long Micro-tip in a 4 3/8" long hex shape stainless steel handle. The Micro-tip is tapered to a one mil diameter tip for TAB, BGA, and other ultra fine pitch rework. The tip is either straight (SH-341) or 50º angled at 5 mil from the point (SH-316). The different tip geometry allows the tips to reach between all circuit leads and traces under a microscope.

The specific advantages of 1 MilProbes are:

The probe tip is strong and long lasting since it is made of special, proprietary alloy to achieve maximum strength.
The hex shape stainless steel handle provides a easy grasp of the tool when operating under a microscope. It also prevents the tool from rolling on the work bench.
To further increase the comfort of using the tool, a foam sleeve that goes onto the handle is available as an optional part.
The 1 MilProbe comes with a protection cap and a vinyl pouch. The cap keeps the tip from damages and keeps the operator from injury. The pouch provides additional protection to the tip and provides a convenient way of storing and carrying the 1 MilProbe.
