The Tronex 5049 and 7049 Miniature High Relief Razor Flush® Tip Cutters are designed for precision cutting in applications where maximum accessibility and an exceptionally low-profile head are essential. Featuring a miniature high-relief head with a short, sturdy jaw and slightly rounded tips, these cutters easily reach beneath components and into confined spaces while producing exceptionally clean Razor Flush® cuts. They are ideal for trimming fine wire, component leads, and headpins in electronics, jewelry, and precision manufacturing.
Both models are manufactured in the USA from hardened 62–63 HRC carbon steel and feature ESD-safe double-sheathed cushion grips for comfort and protection when working around static-sensitive components. Choose the 5049 for a compact standard handle or the 7049 for a longer ergonomic handle that provides additional leverage and reduced hand fatigue during extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Tronex 5049 and 7049?
Both cutters feature the same miniature high-relief head, Razor Flush® cutting edges, and cutting capacity. The difference is the handle length: the 5049 has a standard handle, while the 7049 has a longer ergonomic handle that provides increased leverage and comfort during extended use.
What is a high-relief cutter?
A high-relief cutter has a deeply relieved head profile that allows the cutting edges to reach underneath components and into tight spaces that standard cutters cannot access.
What materials can these cutters cut?
The 5049 and 7049 are designed for soft copper wire from 0.004" to 0.025" (0.10–0.65 mm), or 38–22 AWG. Using them on harder materials or oversized wire may damage the cutting edges.
What does Razor Flush® mean?
Razor Flush® is Tronex's finest cutting edge, producing an exceptionally clean, nearly flush cut with minimal pinching or deformation—ideal for precision electronics and delicate assemblies.
Are these cutters ESD safe?
Yes. Both models feature ESD-safe, double-sheathed cushion grips that help dissipate static electricity, making them suitable for electronics manufacturing and other ESD-sensitive environments.
