Tronex Extra Fine Tip Razor Flush Cutters - 5071 and 7071

Make precise cuts in ultra-fine soft copper wire with sub-miniature tips designed for delicate work in confined spaces. The exceptionally small cutting edges help you reach cutting points around closely spaced components, making these cutters especially useful for microscope-assisted electronics assembly and fine wire trimming.

Razor Flush cutting edges have no bevel, producing a nearly flat wire end with virtually no raised material or pinch. A built-in set screw stop helps protect the finely finished cutting edges.

Choose standard handles for a more compact tool or long ergonomic handles for a larger gripping area. Both variants feature the same extra-fine cutting head and soft copper wire capacity, along with hardened carbon steel construction and ESD-safe cushioned grips.

Features and Benefits

• Extra-Fine Cutting Tips: Provide access to small cutting points around delicate components and tightly spaced assemblies.

• Sub-Miniature Head: Suited to detailed work where larger cutter heads can obstruct access.

• Razor Flush Cutting Edges: Leave virtually no raised material or pinch on the cut end of soft copper wire.

• Protective Set Screw Stop: Helps protect the precision cutting edges.

• ESD-Safe Cushion Grips: Double-sheathed grips provide cushioned handling for detailed electronics work.

• Two Handle Options: Choose standard or long ergonomic handles to suit your grip preference.
