i actually use a kershaw knife. found it in a parking lot looked brand new so i put it in my car. then when i couldn't find anything else on hand to cut the wire with i grabbed that and cut it like butter. after a year of using it like that it is getting to the point of needing sharpening.

I used to use bolt cutters for my wires that were over 8ga but my dad got me a cable cutter from harbor freight that works better than the bolt cutters since its sharper and it is easier to use with it being smaller in size. This is what i use now: http://www.harborfreight.com/10-inch-cable-cutter-40507.html

Going to have to try those. there's a harbor freight like 2 milesfrom me lol

^^^^^^^ This.

I do 4 or 5 builds a year and have had the same pair for 5 years. Still going strong. Makes stripping 0ga easy too. Mine have paid for themselves many times over.

I purchased a pair of raccoons to do my cutting. Just wish they were more accurate!

Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.
