Snap-On has introduced its 6” Diagonal Flush Cut Cutter, which provides clean cuts across a wide range of materials, according to company officials.
The cutter (part number 786CF) makes crisp, flat clean cuts, eliminating painful edges on wire bundles and other components secured by both large and small cable ties, company officials add.
The cutter is manufactured with cold-forged alloyed steel for added strength and extended tool life. Additionally, the tapered head provides greater access for precise cuts in tight workspaces, Snap-On officials said.
Price: $67.65.

February 18, 2019 at 9:04 pmI’ll just wait until Harbor Freight makes them available at about 10 bucks. Snap-on makes a good tool, but for how little it will get used, it’s not worth the investment unless it’s used all the time.

February 18, 2019 at 11:25 pmYes, James, it does seem a bit steep. On the other hand, I am still using Snap-On tools that I bought beginning in the mid seventies and some others that were handed down from my Dad and another dear friend and Mentor. Some of those were from the Fifties, so they amortize out better than the others that fail and are not in business any more. (MAC, S-K, Bonney, Armstrong, Williams, to name a few)
So, yes they are expensive, but those tools and our skills have made us a lifetime of wages and will be just fine for another go-round when we are done. Not bad for only three hours of take-home pay.
Not picking on you, as I too find it hard to justify sometimes, just another perspective is all.
