WiHa Flush Cutting Pliers $17.00 (Nerdtool)
Sure beats the fifty to seventy dollars for other brands. This pliers is for circuit board work. The Hakko pliers I bought got chipped out on 20 gauge copper wire - junk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/33...

You can get Plato 170s from China on eBay for <$2 (similar to Xcelite 170Ms), shipping included. They work fine for small work (20 ga copper is fine). For thicker stuff (and even steel baling wire), you can get Stanley 43-028s for $4 or Irwin linesman pliers for ~$10 on Amazon.
