About Eclipse

The brand's product catalogue includes a wide range of products like crimpers & die sets, hydraulic tools, hole making & punch down tools, screwdrivers & bits, wenches & sockets, power tools, safety gears and other test instruments. Eclipse's wrist straps are a type of wristband that protect from electrostatic discharge (ESD) in sensitive electronic environments. These bands are made of conductive material and have a built-in resistor that allows the strap to provide a controlled path for static electricity to flow while limiting the current to a safe level. They need to be connected to a proper grounding point to effectively dissipate static charges. The brand's punchdown tools are suitable for connecting telecom and data cable to patch panels, wiring blocks, keystone jacks and other network connectors. They feature a sharp blade that pushes or punches down the wire into the IDC contacts, making a reliable connection. They also have an ergonomic profile with a cushioned surface to provide a non-slip grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to operate the TUFFPUNCH knockout punch?

  • Select the appropriate punch and die size for the desired hole diameter. Ensure that the punch & die are compatible with the material.
  • Mark the location to create the hole in the material. Use a pencil or marker to make a clear mark.
  • Align the punch and die with the desired location on the material.
  • Insert the draw stud through the punch, die and material.
  • Attach the ratchet handle to the draw stud. Make sure it is tightened securely.
  • Apply steady pressure on the ratchet handle in the clockwise direction. This helps to drive the punch through the material, creating the hole. Keep turning the ratchet handle until the punch fully penetrates the material.
  • Once the punch has cut through the material, release the pressure on the ratchet handle and unscrew the draw stud to remove the punch and die from the hole.
  • Inspect the hole to ensure it is clean and free of burrs or sharp edges. If necessary, use a deburring tool or file to smooth out any rough edges.

How do I properly wear an Eclipse ESD wrist strap?

  • Ensure the wrist strap is properly connected to a grounding system, such as an ESD grounding point or an ESD mat.
  • Place the wristband securely around the wrist, ensuring good skin contact.
  • Adjust the strap for a comfortable fit, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose.
  • Make sure the metal plate or stud on the strap is in direct contact with your skin.
  • Verify that the grounding system is functioning correctly by using an ESD tester or multimeter, if available.

Can I use an Eclipse ESD wrist strap on both wrists simultaneously?

While it is possible to use wrist straps on both wrists simultaneously, it is generally not recommended. The primary purpose of the wrist strap is to provide a controlled path to the ground for static charges. Wearing two wrist straps can create potential differences in grounding, which may lead to improper dissipation of charges and cause damage to the sensitive equipment.
