How The TieBreaker Works
Start by inserting a PC Board tie into each pocket in the TieBreaker. Each slot in the TieBreaker will hold the tie in position to cut each tie at just the right size. A magnetic latch holds the top of the tool in place.
Next, cut the ends of each tie flush to the edge of the tool with a pair of cutters.
Smooth the ends of the ties with a large file.
Open the TieBreaker tool and remove the cut ties.
Insert the cut ties into the fixture and you are ready to solder!
