You should use a cable cutter to cut cables. But don't use a cable cutter to cut cables. Rookie mistake. /thread

Yes I did. You from Illinois? If so you know what rust in the eyes feels like. Also Coolant has a distinct taste. Sweet and bitter. I've also gotten gasoline up my nose, but let's not talk about that. Can you confirm that breaker bars don't work in Illinois?

In Illinois we break breaker bars. Impact tools are the way to go but 50 gallon compressors cost a ton. I'm glad I make enough money now that I can pay someone to work on my stuff. I don't miss crawling under a truck and getting rust in my eyes.

If you look up images of "cable cutters" and "wire rope cutters" you'll see the difference. Cable cutters are big. You can cut 500 kcmil copper with them. But wire rope cutters are small. Very different tools. You must not live in the rust belt. You can't just use a breaker bar and a pipe. You...

Not if you use an actual drywall screw gun. I do not miss commercial jobs where all I heard all day was drywall screw guns screaming. The guys would put a hair tie on the trigger and leave the guns on all day. They're loud af.

Buy a pair of Klein strippers. They have built in machine screw cutters that don't damage the thread. You can cut 6-32 and 8-32.

1 star because a 16oz hammer weighs 16oz

The stock image on Amazon for XURON flush cutters shows the jaws mis aligned lol

The last thing my wife needs is a pair of snips.

I trust the 2, 3, and 4 star reviews. Especially the ones with pictures.

One time at Autozone I sold a breaker bar and a 30mm socket. The guy went outside, stuck it on his CV axle nut, jumped on it and snapped the breaker bar. Then brought it back inside and got his money back.

When I worked at Autozone their battery tester would smoke sometimes.

What were you doing that involved cutting drywall screws?

Hah machine screws. So like 6-32 or 8-32 Chinesium. Drywall screws are hard af.

I really enjoy 1 star Amazon reviews. They're just oh so good. I'm making this thread to share the good ones I come across. This genius is using USA made cable cutters to cut steel cable. ☠️ COMEDY

I have a pair of nice sewing scissors and I beg my wife not to use them for plastic but she doesn't listen. She also uses my expensive cooking scissors for cutting plastic. Kills me everytime Maybe I'm a tool Nazi. Tools last longer if they aren't abused.

I really enjoy Amazon reviews. Just about every product has 1 star reviews from midwits who don't understand the product. People think all tools can cut steel. So silly.

I'm well aware. But they stay sharper if you don't cut 1/4" allthread with them. You're the guy who borrows someone Kleins to cut a fish tape LOL Someone ban this guy.

Nothing worse than someone wrecking your tools. I've had people use my tools to cut hardened steel. Kleins, dikes and cable cutters are only for copper or aluminum.
