Weller Erem Relaunches Line of High-Precision Cutters, Pliers & Tweezers
September 3, 2020 | Weller EremEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Weller Erem™, a top brand in precision tool solutions, is pleased to announce that it has rebranded and relaunched 300 products worldwide.
Established in 1963 in Switzerland, Erem Precision Tools produces high-precision cutters, tweezers and pliers. Erem is now part of the Weller brand, placing it in the forefront of pioneering solutions for industry and trade.
Manufactured with uncompromising Swiss quality and design, Weller Erem Precision Tools are designed to be strong, durable, sharp and have the highest precision available. Created for worldwide applications, especially for electronics assembly and healthcare, Weller Erem tools are built to last. Weller Erem Cutters set the industry standard by providing more than 1 million consistent, precise and accurate cuts.. Weller Erem Pliers are designed to ensure an accurate and sure grip every time. Additionally, Weller Erem has a wide range of Tweezers, each designed to be strong, comfortable and precise.
The signature high-performance Cutters and Pliers set the industry standard with features that include Magic Spring™, guaranteeing over one million consistent, precise and accurate closing and re-opening movements, high-precision screw joint, and EMOS technologies. Meanwhile, high-performance Tweezers set the industry standard with ergonomically-shaped handles and pointed tips for precise results. The Weller Erem Cutters, Pliers and Tweezers provide the longest durability, highest precision and best quality on the planet.
Weller Erem’s quality and performance are the result of close to 60 years of development experience. Each tool is ground individually by hand and checked for quality compliance. Additionally, the tools use a special tool steel that provides extra strength and durability to result in a long product life.
“Weller Erem Pliers and Cutters use the Magic Spring, which provides 1 million movements where competitors’ cutters can only deliver approximately 250k movements. Our tools are very precise and exact due to a self-locking screw that eliminates movement as well as blade overlap,“ said Marcel Teller, Global Product Manager, Weller. “Additionally, our tools are designed using the Maximum Opening Stop (EMOS) technology, which stops our Cutters and Pliers handles from opening further than what comfortably fits the hand, preventing operator hand fatigue and providing an ergonomic working process.”
