    Yes the high leverage cutters are a good investment. I've had the same ones for almost 20 years and they work as well now as when I bought them.



    Cutting power supply wires
    Everyone should do a cost/benefit analysis on cutting the wires off. It sounds crazy, but you are loosing money cutting them.

    That might be true for you but it's not for everybody. Power supplies here sell for 10 cents a pound with or without wire. Same as shred, motors and transformers. Same as the low grade board inside them. Sucks. I process a lot of PC's and I don't have the time to remove the power supplies and process them. I don't even remove the power supplies anymore. Cut the wires, remove the mother board and gold finger boards, fill the PC case with any scrap metal I have, put the cover back on and move on to the next one.
