Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 5611, 5612, and 5613?
- 5611 features a Semi-Flush cutting edge for maximum cutter life.

What materials are these cutters designed for?
These cutters are designed for soft copper wire and similar non-hardened materials within their rated cutting capacities. They should not be used on hardened steel, piano wire, memory wire, or music wire.
Why choose an extra-large oval head?
The extra-large oval head contains more material around the cutting edges, increasing strength and allowing the cutter to handle larger wire sizes while maintaining long service life.
What is the advantage of the mid-size handle?
The mid-size handle offers a comfortable balance between compact control and increased leverage, making it ideal for repetitive cutting of heavier-gauge wire.
Are these cutters ESD safe?
Yes. Tronex cushion grips are manufactured from static-dissipative material, making them suitable for electronics assembly and other ESD-sensitive environments.
Where are Tronex cutters manufactured?
All Tronex precision cutters are proudly manufactured in the USA and individually inspected to ensure exceptional quality, accuracy, and durability.
