There are shear (bypass) type cutters that do a nice clean cut by virtue
of the curved jaws; they capture the cable, preventing it from being
flattened like bolt cutters are prone to do.
This is an important factor if you are using nicopress sleeves.
The one that I have is good for up to 3/8" EHS, has made hundreds of
clean, easy cuts, and is priced around $200.00. It still works like
new.
