as most of you may know I buy and strip wire for a living, so I cut a lot of wire which means wearing out wire cutters, wire cutters get expensive . so I bought these a few days back from ronan a few days back. let you know how they work

I bought a husky brand one of those from home depot. It works really well.
I was going to buy the husky brand but they were out of stock
I think they discontinued them...I got the last pair at the store for $6 or 7 a few months ago.
yea I couldn't find them at my local store and they were sold out online.
got them yesterday , tried them out today . they work great , the cut is so clean.
here are two sears brand cutters i have been using for a while now, the first link is sears version of the ronan cutter redcrossnj posted about. the second link is the sears handi-cutters which i have had a set of forever.
thes are both very nice and tough cutters the large handi cutters can cut two pieces of 0 gauge wire in one stroke, the replacement blade are a little pricey though.

I just use craftsman aviation snips. When they get dull I take them back and get a new pair.......
I have a large size sears handy cutter that I use to cut wires from power supplies one squeeze and done. Total cost zero, came from a bucket of rusty tools from my neighbor.
free is always good. I love finding tools while scrapping lol
I haven't been able to use them extensively because the yard I buy wire from has been slow cause of the wheather and snow and hasn't gotten any wire yet this week;(
i just picked up two kobalt ones for $15 total. lifetime guarantee. I seem to be less dangerous with these fixed blade. I worry about chopping my fingers off with the razor blade ones :lol:
a cord cutters wet dream >:)
I ethier get what the cord clippers clip, or I have to clip it off the things they throw in the shred pile lol
So I go to grab my cutters since I mainly use these for power supplies, and of course I can't find them. Maybe I should have bought a few pairs at Home Depot when they had them, lol. Now, my warehouse junk piles have swallowed my makita drill, two sledge hammers, and these cutters. Maybe I should have a tether on all of my tools.
Hard drive magnets on the handle + metal in wall = Never lose your tools again.

Haha! What if they stick to a load I'm taking to the yard?!

how do you strip your thin wire do you freeze it then feed it into a grinder or just take it in in manageable length and take the hit on the rubber, i'd protect your eyes, i've never seen anyone cut wire with those.
