When uptime is worth more than any component on the line, reliability isn’t optional. In SMT production, every splice is a machine event – a precision interaction that must occur flawlessly at full speed. That’s why serious manufacturing engineers don’t gamble on tools built for low-volume assembly or novelty ergonomic features.
They choose the Sierra Electronics Workhorse Splice Tool – the genuine solid single-splice clip tool designed to withstand 24/7 production cycles without compromise.
Many cartridge-frame splice tools with bright purple handles look appealing on paper. They promise convenience. They offer quick-load clip cartridges. But inside that convenience sits their fatal flaw:
a cutter blade with a very short service life.
Once that cutter dulls:
And worst of all:
These cartridge tools are not serviceable.
When the cutter wears out – the entire tool becomes scrap.
That’s a built-in failure mode no high-volume line should accept.
The Workhorse tool is engineered with one principle:
No cutters = No burrs = No feeder jams
What sets our tool apart:
High-speed SMT environments have enough risk variables. The splice tool shouldn’t be one of them.
Manufacturing engineers know:
When the cost of downtime is measured in thousands per minute, durability isn’t a luxury – it’s mandatory.
That’s why major EMS facilities and OEMs in aerospace, automotive, and defense rely on the Sierra Workhorse Splice Tool for single-splice clip applications. It simply doesn’t fail.
Other “copy” splice tools look similar – but none offer:
There is only one Workhorse tool:
Sierra Electronics. Made in the USA.
Your pick-and-place system moves tens of thousands of components per hour. The splice tool must keep pace – not wear out.
If you’re tired of:
