Review on 14-Inch Wire Rope Crimping Tool For Stainless Steel, Copper & Aluminum Sleeve Ferrules And Railing End Fitting Terminals. Includes 1/8" Steel Cable Cutter by Kantrel Tunstill

The steel this cutter is made of is not of sufficient quality to cut large quantities of springy steel. Only use on soft, annealed steels, and weaker materials. Nippers immediately began to crumble and decay under the stressful load of steel after only about 300 cuts through 0.9mm stainless wire - roughly enough cuts to make about 15 sq inches of chainmail. I've got about cutting surface left to make about another 300 cuts. The handle has no stop, so if you oversqueeze it, you might crush your own fingers, if you've got long fingers like me.It's not bad for 20 dollars, but it's no lifetime, super reliable tool. It won't do hard jobs for long. I wish I spent more money on a more durable tool, made of superior steel.
