Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the 50° angled head?
The 50° angulated head provides improved access when working in confined or crowded assemblies, making it easier to reach component leads and wires that are difficult to access with straight cutters.What materials can the Tronex 5004 cut?
The 5004 is designed for cutting soft copper wire from 0.008" to 0.031" (0.2–0.8 mm), or 32–20 AWG. Using the cutter on harder materials or larger wire can damage the cutting edges.What does a flush cut mean?
A flush cut leaves very little material protruding after cutting, producing a clean finish that's ideal for trimming component leads and fine wire in electronics and precision assembly.Are the handles ESD safe?
Yes. The double-sheathed cushion grips are ESD safe and tested to ANSI/ESD STM11.13 standards, helping protect static-sensitive electronic components.Who should use the Tronex 5004?
The 5004 is ideal for electronics technicians, PCB assemblers, aerospace manufacturers, jewelers, and anyone performing precision cutting where access and clean flush cuts are essential.
