Me too Bob, no complaints other than cordless stuff has me spoiled. Milwaukee makes a quality shear.
it is not a stupid question if you do not know the answer

Diamond cutters are for extremely hard material, and generally if used on soft material, the diamond dust will be stripped off the holder.

About the brake/shear mentioned by Bud.
Klubertanz sells a shear for welded wire that cuts up to 12 ga. They also have several other shears including the Miwaukee shear mentioned earlier. As to the cordless shears such as DeWalt 18 volt, only good for small jobs, eats batteries. Harbor Freight sells an economy shear for about $50 but it's not the tool the Milwaukee shear is.

Check out Flush cutting wire cutter. Basically a heavy diagional cutter that has been flush ground on the cutting side. They do cut fairly close but I still knock off the sharp edge with a file or sand paper. You could do it yourself and save a couple of $$$.
Note to self- Engage brain before opening mouth (or hitting the ENTER key/SUBMIT button).

If I angle the "dikes" right, there is no spike. Don't try this with a cheap pair.

Cuting over 100 ft a day of 1/2 x 1 14 guage wire geats real old real fast. Takes the fun right out of trap building. Doesn't it, Jim!
