Precision 90° angled cutters designed for exceptional access in tight, hard-to-reach areas. Tronex 5074 and 7074 Angulated 90° Tip Cutters feature a long, narrow jaw with miniature opposing cutting edges located at the tip of the tool. This unique design allows technicians to reach confined spaces where standard cutters cannot, making them ideal for precision electronics, micro-assembly, jewelry, and detailed repair applications.
The 90° angled head provides improved visibility and cutting control when working in crowded assemblies or near delicate components. Available with either a standard handle (5074) or long ergonomic handle (7074), these precision cutters deliver clean flush cuts while reducing hand fatigue during extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Tronex 5074 and 7074 cutters?
The 5074 and 7074 have the same 90° angulated miniature cutting head and flush cutting performance. The difference is the handle style. The 5074 features a standard handle, while the 7074 includes a longer ergonomic handle for additional comfort and reach.
Why use a 90° angulated cutter instead of a straight cutter?
A 90° angled head allows the cutting edges to approach components from a different direction, making it easier to work in crowded assemblies, under components, or in areas with limited access.
What makes these tip cutters different from regular flush cutters?
Unlike standard flush cutters that cut along the side of the jaw, tip cutters place the cutting edges at the very end of the jaw. This allows users to cut in extremely confined spaces with greater precision.
Are Tronex 5074 and 7074 cutters ESD safe?
Yes. Both models feature ESD-safe cushion handles designed to help protect sensitive electronic components from static discharge.
What type of wire can these cutters handle?
These cutters are designed for soft copper wire ranging from approximately 32–22 AWG.
Can these cutters be used on steel wire or hard materials?
No. These are precision cutters designed for soft copper and similar materials. Cutting hardened wire, steel wire, or other hard materials may damage the cutting edges.
Are these cutters good for jewelry making?
Yes. The narrow angled jaw and precise flush cut make them useful for fine jewelry work, chain repair, headpins, and other detailed applications.
Are the 5074 and 7074 suitable for microscope or magnified work?
Yes. The miniature angled head and narrow profile make these cutters well suited for detailed work where visibility and access are important.
