    Best tool for cutting(removing) stainless steel cable ties.

    Hi all, Just to be clear, this is not for cutting off the excess when installing stainless ties, I already have the Partex tool for that. I mean removing them at a later date, and not damaging the existing cables. Aviation snips are no good, you can't get the jaws in far enough to where it...

    Hello, Would like some opinions. We have quite a few CU upgrades to complete. These are PRS properties, and looking down the list, a lot will be TT. Since Amd 3 we have used Hager CUs. Decent quality, also like the little meter tails clamp for TT. However, the cost is prohibitive, especially...
