For Cutter Models:

First Number = Handle Length

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

• "5" = standard handles
• "7" = long, ergonomic handles

*the only exception to this is the 5612 & 5613 which are mid sized handles
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. Some examples are listed below:

• 3=mini oval
• 1=medium oval
• 5=large oval
• 4=mini taper
• 2=medium taper
• 7=large taper
• 0=specialty cutters 

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= standard profile
• 2= relief profile  

See below image showing the difference between the two:

 

Fourth/Last number = Edge Finish

1= Semi-flush

2= Flush

3 = Razor Flush®

 

 For Pliers:

First Number = Handle Length 

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

• "5" = standard handles
• "7" = long, ergonomic handles

Second and Third Numbers = Model Number

Each model has a unique two digit code.
