Tronex models. How to make sense of it all?

09/07/2015

Manufacturers from all over the world prefer Tronex tools because of their best design and high quality.

This piece of news is a guide to decoding Tronex model numbers which should help you quickly reference and compare models.

For Cutter Models:

First Number = Handle Length

The first number of the model number for all tools refers to the handle length

• "5" = standardhandles
• "7" = long, ergonomichandles

Tip: Ergonomic handles are 1 inch longer than standard handles.

Second Number = Head Shape/Size

You probably won't memorize all of the variations here, but it's good to be aware of what this number means. Someexamplesarelistedbelow:

• 3 = minioval
• 1 = mediumoval
• 5 = largeoval
• 4 = minitaper
• 2 = mediumtaper
• 7 = largetaper
• 0 = specialtycutters

Third Number = The Profile of the Cutter

This applies for oval and taper head cutters. Relief cutters have a "lower profile" and can get into tight spots better than standard cutters. Standard cutters have more material in the head so are stronger and can cut heavier material.

• 1= standardprofile
• 2= reliefprofile

See below image showing the difference between the two:

Fourth/Last number = Edge Finish

• 1= Semi-flush
• 2= Flush
• 3 = RazorFlush

For Pliers:

First Number = Handle Length

The first number of the model number for all tools refers to the handle length

• "5" = standardhandles
• "7" = long, ergonomichandles

Second and Third Numbers = Model Number

Each model has a unique two digit code.
