Are you talking about a lead trimmer type flush cutter? I still use the
Klein D275-5 for trimming 28-22ga copper wiring for telecom work (I keep a
pair in each of my toolkits/bags), but I much prefer Sandvik Lindstrom
http://www.lindstromtools.com/ brand cutters for PC board work. Xuron
http://www.xuron.com/ also makes a pretty good product, but I still prefer
the Lindstrom cutters.

I have a Ideal crimper and Ideal connectors,
unfortunately, I can't
find them right now to look at them more closely. Any idea who
actually makes the Ideal connectors?
One of the smartest purchases I made during the 80's was picking up
various crimpers and tools from bankruptcy auctions during the 80's--
most folks just passed them by. It'd take a loaded gun to pry my Molex
terminal crimpers out of my hands. When you have the right tools, jobs
get a lot easier.
I'm still looking for a really good set of flush cutting miniature
diagonals, though. Current Klein dikes aren't nearly as well made as
the old ones. Any suggestions? I've got some Japanese brand that
aren't too bad, but I miss my old Kleins.
