Tronex Miniature High Relief Razor Flush Tip Cutters - 5049 and 7049

Reach fine wire in confined work areas with a miniature cutting head designed for close access. Deep relief creates a low-profile head, while sturdy jaws with slightly rounded tips help you position the cutting edges around small components and delicate assemblies.

Razor Flush cutting edges have no bevel, producing a nearly flat wire end with minimal raised material. These cutters are useful for precision electronics work, fine soft copper wire trimming, and jewelry tasks where access and cut quality are important.

Both models are made in the USA from hardened carbon steel and feature double-sheathed, ESD-safe cushioned grips. Choose standard handles for a compact tool or longer ergonomic handles for a larger gripping area. Both variants offer the same cutting head and soft copper wire capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 5049 and 7049?

The 5049 has standard handles and measures 4.8 inches overall. The 7049 has longer ergonomic handles and measures 5.8 inches overall. Both models have the same cutting head, Razor Flush edges, and cutting capacity.

What does high relief mean?

High relief describes the deeply relieved, low-profile cutting head. This design provides additional clearance when reaching cutting points in confined areas.

What type of wire can these cutters cut?

Both models are rated for soft copper wire from 0.004 to 0.025 inch in diameter, approximately 0.10 to 0.65mm or 38–22 AWG. This capacity rating does not establish suitability for harder wire or other materials.

What does Razor Flush mean?

Razor Flush edges have no cutting bevel. They leave very little raised material or pinching on the cut end of the wire, making them useful for fine, close-cutting work.
