FAQs

What makes this cutter different from other flush cutters?

The medium taper head design offers an ideal balance between strength and accessibility, allowing for precision work in tight assemblies. It provides clean, burr-free cuts thanks to its optimum flush geometry. This design minimizes post-cut cleanup and improves efficiency in professional applications.

What types of materials can it cut?

This cutter is built to handle soft wires up to 0.032″ (0.8 mm) in diameter. It’s ideal for copper, tinned, and delicate component leads used in electronics and lab work. Its hardened carbon steel edges ensure consistent results across thousands of cuts.

How durable are the cutting blades?

The cutting edges are induction-hardened to 63–65 Rockwell C for maximum strength and wear resistance. This provides exceptional edge retention even under heavy use. The result is a long-lasting tool that maintains precision over time.

Is it suitable for ESD-sensitive environments?

Yes. The ergonomic cushioned grips are ESD-safe with a surface resistivity of approximately 10¹⁰ Ω/sq. They prevent static discharge that could damage sensitive electronic components.

Can this cutter be used in cleanroom applications?

Absolutely. Its corrosion-resistant carbon steel and smooth surfaces make it suitable for controlled environments. It’s widely used in cleanrooms, laboratories, and aerospace production where contamination control is essential.
