Xuron has been making precision cutting and gripping tools in Saco, Maine since 1971, and over five decades has become the brand serious model railroaders, electronics technicians and beadwork artisans all reach for first. Their flush cutters and photo-etch scissors are designed for tight clearance work where conventional tools mar the workpiece or can't reach.
We stock Xuron's modeller-relevant lineup: the 9200 Tapered Head Micro-Shear Flush Cutter (14 AWG) for trimming sprues and small wire flush, the 9180 High Durability Scissor (cord cutter) and 9180ET Professional Photo-Etch Scissor for clean cuts on photoetched brass detail parts, the 485FN Flat Nose Pliers (wide jaw for wire forming and chain links), the 501 Adjustable Wire Stripper & Cutter (10-30 AWG), the 810 / 820 / 840 Precision Glue Applicator bottles (2 oz, 0.016" / 0.025" / 0.048" tubes for thin / medium / thick adhesives), the TK2100 Modeler's Tool Kit (3-piece with pouch), the TK2200 Railroader's Tool Kit (3-piece with pouch), and the TK3000 Empty Canvas Tool Pouch (holds 3 tools).
The Xuron 2175 Track Cutter is the iconic rail nipper for cutting code 70-100 track flush against ties. Pair Xuron with Adhesives for the bonding side of the bench, Hobby Tools for broader tool selection, and HO Track & Turnouts for track that needs cutting. Ships from Oakville, Ontario.
