Review: Good, don't trust others with it - Works well cutting the metal wires I work with, when it comes to making the core of the indulation when transporting AC units. Last one I got was apparently "heavy duty" but said it was for typical daily use in gardening and whatnot had damage in the first use. First use. Now, I've had a coworker use the same product I'm reviewing now, and I'm 100% sure he's used them to bank machine stuff into place as the actual holding for the safety grip is so loose now it swings on its own. I'll be removing it soon with my own hands since I have fixed it a day earlier but he did the same shit and now it's ruined. Blade durability is at least passable: I've only used it for a week but I can see the scratches but it cuts just as good. And yes, when they say don't use as a hammer don't. I'm not letting anyone else touch my equipment.
Review: Made over 100 railing wire cuts with no noticeable dulling - Finally bit the bullet and replaced our railing on our log cabin on the lake with a wire railing. It came out great and I should have done it years before. We have a log cabin lake house on a lake in new York we built in 2012. The log cabin kit used log spindles for the railing. Looked good for the log home theme but… My wife is only 5 foot tall and when sitting in a chair on the deck, the railing blocked most of the view of the lake! So I did a bunch of research and came up with the below installation as the best for us and it looks fantastic. As you will see in the complete photos, I kept the log up rights but took out the log rails and spindles. Since I was keeping the log up rights, I realized that trying to drill the wires through the logs and keep them perfectly straight and evenly separated, even using a jig, was going to be nearly impossible. Thus my first idea of one long wire run from end to end (40 feet) using turnbuckles on one end, didn’t look like a valid solution. Then I ran into the Threaded Swag Lag Screws. I realized I can do 5 different groups of wires using the lag screws into the log up rights and not have to drill through them, only predrill starter holes for the Lag screws. We laid out the top rail, out of same wood as the cabin. And for the two widest sections on the left we used a section of the top rail as an upright that is drilled through as a wire support. The two long section on the left are 10’ 6” each and the three shorter sections on the right are 5’ 6” each (give or take a little). Material I purchased to do the job: All I bought were items 1 through 5 below, all through desertcart. The total was only $332 for all of it including the tools. With the outcome I got at the end – this was a steal in my book (no pun intended). 1.

Day one was removing the old railing sections and I had to replace three up right logs as they were starting to show signs of rot. Once we had the uprights replaced and the top rail wood in place, we could start running the wires. Day 2, running all the wires. The front of my deck is 40 feet wide. I put the wires at 3” apart and made a plywood template with predrilled holes at the exact placements I need to put the lags screws. We would then hold the template up against the log up rights, and I would predrill the holes for the lags using the template holes. The logs come with a drill bit for predrilling them. So no errors in the holes being too big or too small. I had predrilled out the two upright sections that were being used as wire guides and I put in the steel protective sleeves on each side of those holes. When you start, put the lags in (noting one side the lags are reveres threaded for turning later) per the instruction we put the lags in about 1/3 to ½ way in. a tip we found somewhere is do every other wire first as the little wrenches you have to turn the lags in will hit the next wire. This helped make them go a lot faster. Also for pre-starting the lags, I chucked them into my cordless drill and used the drill to start them. Way faster than by hand. Then measure the distance from Wood to wood and subtract 1 1/2” from the length of the wire. We used the Muzata wire cutters above and had to make over 100 cuts. They worked great for all cuts. Didn’t detect any dulling by the end which was nice! Then slide the wire into a Lag and use the crimper to put two crimps on each lag. Seems easy enough but by the teim you are getting to your 200th crimp, your arms are definitely tired. Just keep repeating this for all the wires. And your done. Well… We had five sections of wire, 10 wires each section so that is 20 lag screws per section or 100 lags total, 2 crimps per lag or 200 crimps, and 50 lengths of wires totaling ~ 400 feet. Took all day but when we were done, it looked great! I highly recommend this and it is totally a do it yourself task if you are just even modestly handy. My wife and I did it by ourselves and our friends can’t stop complementing how big a difference it makes. We were very pleased with all the wire products and tools we used. We had no issues with any of it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for cutting dogs out of a snare trap?**
A: Instead, it would be easier to just take pressure off the snare lock so that the loop relaxes and opens back up again. There are different types of snare locks, so you might have to fiddle with it a bit. Once you get the correct angle,  it will slide right open.

**Q: When opening and closing the blade- is it safe to put against flesh, on the tips? Needed in case my dog gets caught in a snare trap**
A: Yes, ends are curved and can slide underneath wire, or just use rounded tip.. these cut cable with ease .

**Q: how many piece's come's?**
A: You only get one, and as I have mentioned in my previous posts, I defy any human to cut 5/32 stainless steel deck cable with this cutter. I returned mine, and got a 3 foot long cable cutter to do the job, and that wasn't easy either.

**Q: I heard they were hard to open and use. Can a 63 year old woman use them to cut jewelry apart?**
A: Well first a 63 year old lady can do anything.they are stiff to open but they cut very strong wire. I also make jewelry and these are too strong and big for that I think.check jewelry supply and ask questions . Good luck
