If you are the habit of causing this, then don't buy anything too expensive. If you are going to look after your cutters and want them to be sharp and tight years down the line, buy Knipex.

When you say blown to bits I assume you mean from cutting through live cables? If so you need to learn to isolate cables before cutting through them before you go any further.

Do they sell knipex that far north trev . You won't believe this but in London they do insulated pliers and cutters nowadays

Yeah mate, I've drank gin for years. I love the stuff.
As far as the availability of things is concerned we're getting better, there's a rumour of some new religion getting a hold. Something about a bloke called Jeepers or something

I use the same shears for cutting (after proving cable dead) and CK combicut 2 for stripping.

Edit: Insulated version 95 26 165
