Who makes good flush cutters?

oh ... just for reference:

Klein D275-5

^ These things are garbage. I bought them on impulse because they were crazy cheap. I gave this pair to my buddy to get rid of them. I felt so bad about it, I had a pair of both the Tsunoda KBN150 and KBN125 flush cutters drop-shipped to him and told him to throw these away.
He told me he already had done so.

I probably have half a dozen of those and have had the opposite experience with them. They function fine

^ More than one other person on this website has said the same thing about them.
I was definitely not impressed at all. .I thought perhaps I wasn't using them correctly, but no... .they left a sharp pokey thing - every time.
The Tsunoda model does not.
Oddly, my current "go to" is an unbranded pair that was part of "package deal" - my total monetary investment in that pair would be less than 25 cents. Go figure.

That's quite odd as they seem to cut zip ties very cleanly. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair

Maybe the issue is they aren't consistent.

^ NOT a clue there. I only paid like $5 bucks for them over at Platt Electric. Brought them home and tried them out. UGH. Pokey things!
That was shortly before I figured out HOW to find the Tsunoda models on Amazon (the part numbers were confusing.)
Again, that tiny pair I'm using now - very similar to the Klein (except for the handles) do just fine. Go figure.
