Tronex Medium Taper Relieved Head Cutters - Semi-Flush Flush and Razor Flush

Reach soft copper wire beneath components and around obstructions with a pointed cutting head and a relieved, low-profile design. These medium taper head cutters combine a narrow approach with additional clearance for cutting points that can be difficult to reach with a standard-profile head.

Choose Semi-Flush edges when cutting-edge durability is the priority, Flush edges for close cuts with a slight pinch, or Razor Flush edges for a nearly flat wire end. Each cutting finish is available with standard handles or long ergonomic handles, giving you six options to match your work and grip preference.

All six models are manufactured in the USA from carbon steel and feature double-sheathed, ESD-safe cushioned grips. Select the cutting style according to the finish you need and the diameter of your soft copper wire.

Features and Benefits

• Pointed Taper Head: Improves access around closely spaced components and into confined cutting areas.

• Three Cutting Finishes: Choose Semi-Flush, Flush, or Razor Flush edges to suit your cutting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which models are available?

The six options are the 5221 and 7221 Semi-Flush cutters, 5222 and 7222 Flush cutters, and 5223 and 7223 Razor Flush cutters. Models beginning with 5 have standard handles; models beginning with 7 have long ergonomic handles.

What does a relieved head do?

A relieved head has a lower profile that provides additional clearance around obstructions and beneath components. It helps reach cutting points that may be difficult to access with a standard-profile head.

What is the difference between Semi-Flush, Flush, and Razor Flush?

Semi-Flush edges prioritize durability but leave a noticeable pinch on the wire end. Flush edges leave a smaller pinch. Razor Flush edges have no bevel and leave virtually no raised material.

Do all six models have the same cutting capacity?

No. The Semi-Flush models are rated for 0.008 to 0.045 inch soft copper wire, the Flush models for 0.004 to 0.041 inch, and the Razor Flush models for 0.004 to 0.035 inch.

Does choosing longer handles increase cutting capacity?

No. Each long-handle model has the same rated capacity as its corresponding standard-handle model. Choose the handle length based on your hand size and grip preference.

Can these cutters be used on steel or memory wire?

The stated capacities apply only to soft copper wire. They do not establish suitability for steel, memory wire, or other harder materials. Use a cutter specifically rated for the material and diameter you intend to cut.
