Historically, traditional wire cutters would make my hand ache. But in 1999 while in Hamamatsu at IAPBT I saw the blue handled wire cutter being now sold in supply catalogues (forgot the name). I like them a lot as they will hold the wire as you cut it. Very fast and safe and easy on my hand. Now, if I could find a Dremel wheel that would last, I might convert.
