Tungsten Carbide is a super hard, wear-resistant metal compound commonly used in industrial cutting tools. It’s much harder than steel and holds an edge exceptionally well—making it ideal for trimming tools that are built to last.

Tungsten Carbide tips stay sharper significantly longer than traditional steel tools, meaning cleaner cuts, more consistent results, and fewer replacements. They’re designed for long-term performance—even with heavy use.

Don’t worry—it happens! Tungsten Carbide is extremely hard but also brittle. That’s why we designed our trimming tools with replaceable tips. If your tip breaks, you can easily order a replacement on our website and swap it out.

Yes—if you choose to! While our Tungsten Carbide tips are designed to stay sharp for a very long time, they can be sharpened using a fine diamond file (600 grit or higher). Just be sure to use a light touch and file only as needed to avoid changing the shape or edge geometry of the tip.
