Flush cutter recommendations needed

Attached, as I said, no markings

Real tools. Straight up wire cutters. I used something like that for about 8 years also. I bought more but I haven't used them yet.

Those are nice beefy, they look like they'd stand up to heavy use.

Thought I would give an update. I got the aven cutters and they are great. They align perfect, cut very fine wire and are plenty hard. They also come with a molded cover to protect the cutting tip. Very comfortable as well. Let's see how long they hold up, but I suspect quite a long time.

I wish I knew what brand my sidecutters are. I'm serious here. There is no branding, whatsoever, at all on them. Not imprinted on the metal, not dyed into the handles, nothing. And they're one of the toughest tools I have, have taken more than a decade of abuse, and are still really sharp.

Alanp those cutters look like the ones Dick Smith used to sell in a set for about five dollars, it also had some other tools like a socket set pliers and tweezers in it. You're right about them though, sharp and very durable, I've had mine for roughly fifteen years.

Those look awesome, Chris.    

I went with the Knipex,  after this thread.  They are also nice, but the tip is less flat than the Hakko ones I have.  I scratched the PCB, first time I used them.
