TL;DR: 11:30 - Cutting comparison I have 8 different side cutters (or flush cutters) on hand, and review and compare them against each other to help you make your decision when it comes time to purchase your next pair. I soldered a ton of random resistors into a perfboard and use each cutter to snip the leads on the board, and go over my impressions of each model as I do so. I also choose a single winner as my best recommendation for everyone to buy.
