Yeah ... don't know. Twenty(ish) years back I recall someone on StickWire lobbying heavily to officially refer to the Stick as a baliset. I have to admit that the very idea of it made me cringe. Strikes me a little as grown adults running around with brooms between their legs telling people they pla... |

I've always modified my standard cutters with a 1X30 belt sander and then tempered the cutting edges to handle the harder wire that would normally destroy a store bought flush cutter.

Many many years ago I was into model railroading. I would buy spools of "ribbon rail" (flexible track that came in long lengths where you cut the pieces you need) and every hobby store on the planet sold these "rail nippers" for clean precise rail cutting. As it turned out they w... |
