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.
I used to have a real nice pair of carbide flush cutters until a friend
thought they'd be good to cut piano wire :( Dwight
Ouch. I had a pair of really nice Benner Nawman coax cutters (for hardline
coax) ruined by someone who thought they would work for cutting 5/16"
strand. My 3" cable cutter also has a few nicks in its blades from the
same type of thing, though I could probably work those out with a 2nd cut
or smooth file if I ever feel like spending the time on it.
