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.
