Tronex 5004 Angulated 50 Degree Large Taper Flush Cutter – ESD Safe

Achieve precise, controlled cuts in tight and crowded workspaces with the Tronex 5004 Angulated 50° Large Taper Flush Cutter. Designed for professional electronics assembly, circuit board work, and precision cutting applications, this cutter features a 50° angled head that improves access to components and wires in confined areas.

The large taper head combines a pointed tip with short jaws for enhanced control and maneuverability. Its flush cutting edges are designed to produce clean, close cuts on soft copper wire, making it particularly useful for trimming component leads and working around densely populated circuit boards.

Manufactured from hardened carbon steel with a hardness rating of 62–63 HRC, the Tronex 5004 provides the durability and precision required for detailed cutting tasks. Standard-length handles feature double-sheathed, cushioned ESD-safe grips for comfortable handling in static-sensitive work environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a 50° angled cutting head?

The 50° angled head provides better access to wires and component leads in confined or crowded areas, allowing more convenient cutting without positioning the handles directly above the workpiece.

What type of wire can this cutter handle?

The Tronex 5004 is rated for soft copper wire ranging from 0.008" to 0.031" (0.2–0.8mm), equivalent to 32–20 AWG. Avoid cutting materials outside the manufacturer's specified capacity.

What does flush cutting mean?

Flush cutting edges are designed to leave a relatively flat, close-cut surface on the retained side of the material, helping reduce protruding wire ends.

Are the handles ESD safe?

Yes. The double-sheathed cushion grips are ESD safe, with a specified resistance of less than 1 × 10¹¹ ohms when tested according to ANSI/ESD STM11.13.

Is this cutter suitable for electronics work?

Yes. The angled head, pointed tip, flush cutting edges, and ESD-safe grips make it well suited for electronics assembly, PCB work, and precision component lead trimming.
