Tronex 15AGW-E ESD Cutting Tweezers – Large Pointed Tips
Combine precise fingertip control with hard-wire cutting capability using Tronex 15AGW-E ESD Cutting Tweezers. These Swiss-made Style 15AGW tweezers feature a large cutting head with pointed, angled blades, providing excellent access and visibility when making controlled cuts in confined or detailed work areas.
Unlike the stainless steel 15AGW-CH, the 15AGW-E is manufactured from hardened carbon steel for increased blade hardness and stiffness. The cutting blades are hardened to 61 HRC, making this version especially well suited to demanding applications involving hard alloys. An ESD epoxy-polyester coating provides electrostatic discharge protection for work around sensitive electronic components.

Hardened Carbon Steel for Demanding Cuts
The 15AGW-E uses carbon steel rather than stainless steel, providing the hard, stiff cutting tips needed for more demanding materials.
Tronex hardens the blades to 61 HRC, giving the cutting edges the strength required for hard-alloy cutting while retaining the fine control of a precision tweezer-style tool.
Large Pointed, Angled Cutting Tips
The Style 15AGW cutting head combines large cutting blades with a pointed, predominantly angled profile. This geometry provides good visibility of the cutting area while allowing the tips to reach into spaces that can be difficult to access with conventional cutters.
The tweezer-style action also keeps cutting control close to your fingertips, making the tool particularly useful for detailed production and assembly work.
ESD Epoxy-Polyester Coating
The 15AGW-E features an ESD epoxy-polyester coating for applications where electrostatic discharge control is important.
This makes it particularly useful for electronics assembly, PCB work, component lead trimming, and other precision applications involving electrostatic-sensitive components.
Designed for Hard-Alloy Cutting
Tronex specifically recommends the 15AGW-E for applications requiring the cutting of surgical alloys in medical device manufacturing. The strong carbon-steel blades are designed to apply moderate cutting force while providing the hardness and stiffness needed for demanding alloy cuts.
This combination also makes the tool useful for other precision manufacturing and technical applications requiring controlled cutting of compatible hard materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Tronex 15AGW-E tweezers designed for?
They are precision cutting tweezers designed for demanding hard-wire and hard-alloy cutting applications where controlled access and visibility are important.
What are the blades made from?
The 15AGW-E is manufactured from carbon steel to provide hard, stiff cutting tips.
How hard are the cutting blades?
Tronex specifies a blade hardness of 61 HRC.
What does the E coating mean?
The 15AGW-E has an ESD epoxy-polyester coating designed for applications where electrostatic discharge protection is important.
Are these suitable for electronics work?
Yes. The ESD coating makes them particularly useful for electronics assembly, PCB work, component lead trimming, and other applications involving electrostatic-sensitive components.
Can they cut hard alloys?
Yes. Tronex specifically designed the carbon-steel 15AGW-E for hard-alloy cutting and identifies surgical alloys used in medical device manufacturing as an intended application.
What style are the cutting tips?
The 15AGW style has large, pointed, predominantly angled cutting blades.
How long are the tweezers?
The overall length is approximately 4.53" (115 mm).
What is the difference between 15AGW-E and 15AGW-CH?
The 15AGW-E uses hardened carbon steel blades with an ESD epoxy-polyester coating and is designed for more demanding hard-alloy cutting. The 15AGW-CH is the polished stainless steel version of the 15AGW style.
Are these regular gripping tweezers?
No. These are specialized cutting tweezers. The tips are cutting blades rather than conventional gripping tips.
Where are they made?
