Deal Details
Amazon has highly rated Xcelite 5 in. Static-Dissipative Shear Flush Cutter 170MVN on sale for for $4.74. Shipping is free with Amazon Prime or on $35+ orders.

This tool sells for $14.98 at Home Depot.

OP Notes: I personally own these and they're an excellent pro grade tool for automotive, HVAC, trailer, and bench wiring projects on smaller gauge stranded wire (up to about 14 gauge) and component leads. Noticeably better than standard wire cutters in that they cut smoothly without the "pop" that can be fatiguing to your hand. Had a pair break after many years of daily commercial use and Apex Tool Group happily sent me a new pair freight prepaid at no charge after sending them a photo.

I used to use these to cut the Gundam parts out of the frames. Now I mostly use them for cutting zip ties

What does that mean? They went bad/weren't good or you stopped building Gunpla?

I've had the USA ones for decades; the greatest flush cuts of all time.

I have no idea how good the China ones are, hopefully at least half as good.

I think they're just saying that these flush cutters are excellent for zip ties

I love mine. But I have to say that for the average DIYer the cheapies on Amazon aren't half bad, and can be had for a couple of dollars each. They're not as comfortable in the hand but produce similar results. I didn't discover this tool until later in life, but I can't imagine going without it now.

For those asking or interested, these are listed as Made in Vietnam. Many US tool brands have moved production overseas while maintaining strict quality control at their overseas facilities. Xcelite is a premium brand with a reputation to consider, and I would expect top tier quality from them regardless of country of origin.
