Ouch, Been there done that. Not with Electricians pliers, but a brand new pair of cutters & I do mean that literally :(.
 
Just taken delivery of the new Makita 10.8V SDS.
Makita HR166DSMJ 10.8v 2 x 4.0Ah CXT Brushless Rotary Hammer Kit - https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Makita-Hr166Dsmj-0088381838412-10.8V-2-X-4.0Ah-Cxt-Brushless-Rotary-Hammer-Kit

Despite already having a choice of SDS drills, I decided that I needed a little one for fixing holes in hard brick and concrete, especially when working up ladders, etc. It's also specced for holes up to 16mm. With a lower impact energy than the bigger ones, I'm hoping that it will also be easier to position accurately.

That's extremely pretty - me likey! I hope you are both very happy together.
 
Do you buy them pre-notched or do you install your own custom notches?

A couple of years back I managed to 'install' (cough splutter) a nice notch in my 2 week old wiha snips. Gutted I was! Though they stripped 1.5mm nicely with very little damage to the copper afterwards.
 
Bought this [ElectriciansForums.net] What Was Your Last Tool And What Is Your Next?!?! to replace an insulation tester that got nicked & this [ElectriciansForums.net] What Was Your Last Tool And What Is Your Next?!?! because it's brand new & at £5.00 too good to miss ;):)
 
I'm getting too old to be a brand snob now Tel, Robin is a brand I've always liked & the Laser one could probably pop up under many brands.
My one that got nicked was a Megger, had the bloody thing from new & all :mad::(
 
haha. my megger digital jobby was a fiver, not working although the display lit up. broken lead on 4mm socketinside. 10 mins with a soldering iron, good as new.
