    Depends on what you get for wire. Ps without wire i get .20#. The wire I sell at romex pricing1.25-1,30#

    The best tool for cutting PS wires I have found so far is one of these:

    I don't have one of those exactly, but a home depot husky brand one. Blade lasts a long time if you're just cutting PS wire. Slices through it like it was butter, and can easily handle the base of the bundle in one clip.
