Thread: Flush cutters which one?

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.
Also they used to be $2.50 ....

LOL exactly

I wait til they have them on sale for $1.99 and buy 5 pair

I'd be looking at these, but then again, I don't use flush cutters every day

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 !

Whatever you buy you need to make sure that there are no airgaps between the cutting jaws when they are closed.

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