Tronex Miniature Oval Head Cutters - Flush and Razor Flush
Make precise cuts in fine soft copper wire with a miniature oval head designed for detailed work in tight spaces. The compact cutting head helps you reach small cutting points around closely spaced components, making these cutters useful for electronics assembly, surface-mount technology work, and tasks performed under magnification.
Choose Flush cutting edges for close cuts with a slight pinch remaining on the wire end, or Razor Flush edges for a nearly flat finish with virtually no raised material. Both cutting styles are available with standard handles or long ergonomic handles.
All four models are manufactured in the USA from carbon steel and feature double-sheathed, ESD-safe cushioned grips. Select the cutting finish and handle length that suit your work, keeping the wire diameter within the selected model's capacity.
