That's not the only benefit. The Crimpmaster
has interchangeable dies.
I've got the crimpmaster in my bag. Worked very well
for years.
Ok, I'll reveal my ignorance... what's this talk of a flush cutter for
trimming leads? I have a pair of electricians scissors that work
wonderfully. Can someone educate me on what I'd need something like the
flush cutter's mentioned previously for?

Hi Jay
Most cutters tend to pinch the wire, leaving a sharp edge that can easily
slice fingers. Also, at times when making piggy back boards it is desired to
keep things close trimmed. I have both flush and regular cutters but
find most times, I like the flush ones.
Cutting larger size solid wire, the flush cut can leave an almost
flat end ( sometimes needed for special cases ).
Of course, I wish to get a new carbide flush cutters. If you've ever used
the carbide ones, you'll understand. Especially if you have hundreds of
cuts to do. The cutting effort is easily reduced to less then 30% than
regular steel cutters. They are much more expensive as well and one
should never loan them out as I had done :(
