Looking to get a new set of flush cutters would like a few endorsements first as they can be rather expensive.
I buy the cheapest ones they have at Harbor Freight, then I put the bottoms on my buffers and polish them up
Tried the stupid expensive ones, Tried the middle priced ones, and they are no better then the ones I pay $3 for
You simply have to line up the two sides and polish them up regardless of what price you pay

I use those same ones, my current pair lasted about a year, needs replacement though.Quote:

I'd be looking at these, but then again, I don't use flush cutters every day :)
Fastcap Macro Flush Cutters
Funny thing, pays to shop around. I copied and pasted into ebay search and found a few different models for around $15.00. Searched on amazon for Fastcap Macro Flush Cutters and found one listing for $108.00 ......... for the same thing that was $14.00 on ebay ! :gaah:Quote:

Or that there are airgaps a month after you start using them.Quote:

I have seen them on line for as low as 2-3 dollars and as high as $20.
I polish the back on the buffer with 600 and Chrome Oxide.
