Wire cutters

To ensure that someone else does not use equipment witli a damaged power cord, the plug can be clipped off with a pair of wire cutters. Because most damage occurs at the plug, the electrician will repair it anyway. 

If laboratory personnel are expected to perform repairs and maintenance, the proper tools must be available. This is particularly true in an educational laboratory, where stockroom personnel have a multitude of repair and maintenance jobs to perform. Only the highest quality tools should be purchased, as they will cost less in the long run. A cheap screwdriver, for instance, will soon begin to wear and damage screws that are hard to replace. It may even slip and cause injury. An almost right wrench will damage nuts beyond use. A cheap wire cutter may leave a few strands of wire uncut, an annoying and possibly hazardous condition. 

With the emery paper or sandpaper, polish 10 cm of aluminum wire until it is shiny. Use wire cutters to cut the aluminum wire into four 2.5-cm pieces. Place a piece of the aluminum wire in each row A well that contains solution. 

A few fireclay refractories are produced by the stiff-mud process using an auger machine that pugs, de-airs, and continuously extrudes a day column. A wire cutter cuts the day into blanks which are then sized, shaped, and branded by a repress machine.

This saves the labor of digging out and repacking the carbon paste when a fresh electrode surface is desired. The thin-wire cutter also appears to produce a more even and reproducible surface.

The Cu plates and battery holders should be prepared before the lab period and can be reused indefinitely. Cut rectangles of copper sheet approximately 1.25" X 2" and then cut out corners of the rectangle to form the stem that is used for electrical contact. We used a variety of copper sheets that ranged from 0.03" to 0.06" in thickness. To assemble the battery holder, first cut a double-ended test lead in half using wire cutters. Then strip the cut ends and solder each lead to the clip on one end of a battery holder. 

A second tutorial example may be useful. Suppose that an extended communication network, modeled as a large two-dimensional square-lattice grid connected to heavy bars at two opposite boundaries, is attacked by a stochastic saboteur, who, with wire-cutters, severs the grid interconnections. What fraction of the links must be cut in order to isolate the two bars from each other The answer, given by a a percolation... 

Weights (for horn pan and trip scales). Wire cutter. 

Wash three dmes in PBS containing 0.1% NP-40 and three dmes in PBS. Add 50 pL of I-streptavidin diluted 1 in 200 in PBS containing 10% PCS and 0.1% NP-40. Incubate for 1 h at RT in a humid environment Wash three dmes in PBS containing 0.1% NP-40 and three dmes in PBS. Cut off the wells using a hot wire cutter into a microdter template and count the wells indnidually. The results can be plotted to show the MAb(s) that inhibit the binding of the biodnylated MAb. 

The pattern can be shaped with traditional carving tools or cut to size with a nichrome hot wire cutter, available from model plane companies.Complex patterns are best cut out as simpler subunits. The pieces are then joined with spray adhesive or rubber cement. These glues will vaporize along with the foam.Surface blemishes in the finished pattern can be filled w/combustible wax filler if needed. 

The wire is cut to length with the glass-cutting carborundum wheel described in Chapter 4. If pliers or wire-cutters are used the wire is liable to split and be rendered unusable. Centreless ground rod can be purchased in 10 cm lengths or the length can be specified when the order is placed. 

When soldering, it is a good idea to have a combination wire cutter/stripper available to prepare wires for connection. Stripping a wire simply means to remove the insulation from the portion that will be involved in the connection. The tool shown in Figure 1.20 is a good example of one that does both. However, the technician must be careful not to cut the wire when stripping it. 

Other items such as tin snips, regular pliers, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, tin snips, razor knife, scissors, rulers, T-squares, Sharpie markers, wire connection crimpers, and wire cutters will be needed. Hand punches and reamers are also used. 

In any rescue attempt it is essential that you protect yourself. It is a truism that dead heroes rescue no one. Do not, under any circumstance, rely on rubber boots, raincoats, rubber gloves, or ordinary wire cutters for protection. Above all, do not touch or allow your clothing to touch a wire, a victim, or a vehicle that is possibly energized. 

To assure that this spot becomes very hot, one should next take a wire cutter and at the bottom of the loop of wire cut half way through the wire. If very thin nichrome wire is being used this step should be skipped because the wire will just break. The idea behind cutting a nick in the wire is pretty simple. This spot will be hotter than the rest of the wire because a smaller amount of wire will be forced to carry the current at that point.
