Yep I buy most of my wire cutters at hatbor freight...I have to destroy like 5-7 to make the cost up from lowes. They get abused anyways so I go that route. I buy really good powet tools though...dewalt drill, ect. Pays to by those....but I also buy alot used when contrators or others need the money.
Looks like the old school paper cutter might be the best non powered way to deal with computer cable ends...I had seen it in the old threads but wanted to see if anyone k ew of a better tool. I'll pick one up at a yard sale I am sure.
The other quedtion on the low grade stuff....band saw or air chisel seems to be the way to go....I just have aloy sometimes and cutoff wheels can take too long. I might see if I can find a band saw with an abrasive cable instead of a saw band...might work better and you can get diamond ones that would last forever on the relatively soft material.
I will say this...the oscellating tool I have with a 1/2 moon cutting blade...it works WONDERS on removing the copper tubes from the cpu heatsinks...10-15 seconds....I bought a cheap $20 one from harbor freight to try it. It would work great on boards too IF you can grt it in where you need it.
Now to add some more pickups for volumne since I can xo stuff faster.
Thanks guys!
