I had to remove about a mile of maple sugar lines, with all the main lines strung using high tensile steel solid wire.
These wire cutters performed very well, and that was so satisfying. No major hand strain, and they cut right through 10 gauge wire.
Then I used the tip to cut all the little wrap wires and they were great for that too.
Super satisfied!
