I either made a very wise choice or a very foolish one. it's untested but I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this for two reasons. one after researching the seller they appear to be someone who liquidates people's estates when they die. 2nd they accept returns.1yr ⋅ PavlovecsDog ⋅ r/amateurradio

Better than flush cutters. Just thought I would share what I have been using for 12 years cutting coax cable sheilding on aircraft and at home. Find these in the make up area at walmart. Sharp and pointy ends, you can easily pick and cut sheilding. You can find them with large finger holes too.10mo ⋅ ToWhomItConcern ⋅ r/amateurradio
